Summary
"The living world runs on genomic software-- what Dawn Field and Neil Davies call the 'biocode'- -the sum of all DNA on Earth. In Biocode, they tell the story of a new age of scientific discovery: the growing global effort to read and map the biocode, and what that might mean for the future."--Publisher's web site
