The latest studiesare revealing exciting new discoveries, such as how the DNA and related chemical compounds in our cells work together to direct the processes of life. Scientists are not only unraveling how life evolved in the ancient past, but are also finding the keys to creating a healthier future. How does the minuscule chemical cluster in each of our 100 trillion cells accomplish the amazing feat of creating and maintaining our bodies? Frank Ryan, a physician and an evolutionary biologist, describes the complex ways in which the genome operates as a holistic system and not solely through genes coding for proteins-the building blocks of life. Also involved are elaborate switching mechanisms that regulate and control portions of our DNA, as well as the interplay of retroviruses and bacteria. This groundbreaking book explains thatwe are on the cusp of an amazing era of disease treatment and eradication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633881520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633881525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016","brand":"Frank Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069473222911,"sku":"9781633881525","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a9507c4-d451-4319-b7c8-1a79437890c2.jpg?v=1685424909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mysterious-world-of-the-frank-ryan-9781633881525","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
