Abraham Lincoln's DNA and Other Adventures in Genetics
10
 
 
Abraham Lincoln's DNA and Other Adventures in GeneticsReilly has assembled an enjoyable series of vignettes that are understandable to the novice but contain lessons for the professional geneticist.

Reilly is trained in both genetics and law, and these advances are marvels that offer unprecedented investigative powers both for the scientist and for the police detective. At the same time, we are faced with disquieting challenges to our privacy.

Do these scientific capabilities mean that the banking of DNA samples from every citizen is inevitable? You will be convinced by Reilly's arguments that we are moving rapidly in that direction unless we educate ourselves and choose to object.
