Sooner than you can imagine, human beings will be capable of diagnosing their own illnesses, designating the sex of their children, even designing the food they eat -- all as easily as using a cell phone. Now is the time for every one of us to take control of our DNA, and one man is uniquely qualified to show us how: Glenn McGee, bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, pioneer in the study of \"home genetics,\" and the acknowledged wunderkind of the exciting world found at the nexus of life science and computer technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most respected authorities in the field of genomics -- the study of the genetic \"software\" inside plants, animals, and us -- McGee takes us on an eye-opening journey behind the headlines and into the heart of this formidable cutting-edge science.
