{"product_id":"9780385687676","title":"The Secrets of our DNA","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom an award-winning expert on DNA, discover the myth-busting book that opens a dazzling window into the world of modern genetics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1984 discovery of DNA fingerprinting marked the   start of a whole new era in the study of our DNA. Genetics has become a key   to unlocking criminal and immigration cases, essential to our food safety, to   the protection of threatened wildlife and to resolving questions of history   and archaeology, ancestry and even, for some, identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Turi King, one of the world’s most eminent   authorities on DNA and genetic research, takes us on a journey to understand   the real science behind some of the world’s most famous crimes, from dead   kings to modern murders, showing how DNA can both convict and exonerate. And   moving from mistaken dinosaur DNA to Angelina Jolie’s BRCA1 gene, from   eugenics to epigenetics, and the study of Hitler’s DNA, she explains how   genetics informs every aspect of our lives, why it affects us all, and what   it can—and can’t—tell you about who you are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFascinating, compassionate and entirely captivating,   The Secrets of Our DNA shows us how we are all interconnected. It also   reminds us that while our DNA can yield information about our predisposition   to disease and other conditions, it need not be our destiny. And, perhaps   most importantly, she shows us why we should all be a part of the discussion   as to how new genetic discoveries are used for the benefit of all life on   earth.","brand":"Turi King (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":48437885534420,"sku":"9780385687676","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_4977b4fa-b5b7-401d-963e-b9a739550c89.jpg?v=1786132237","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780385687676","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
