    Gene Editing Past, Present and Future
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019*

A readable, intelligent and informative book.  Despite not having a technical or medical background, the bookwas helpful in understanding the history and potential future of gene editing.  The prologue begins withthe birth of two Chinese girls, Lulu and Nana on 11/28/18.  Professor He Jiankui,  (born 1984) was thefirst to edit the DNA of infants that, if either becomes child bearing, will be the first to pass on their edited genes, quite controversial! The author skillfully details the ease of gene editing, the inherent dangers and profound profit opportunities.  Previously I have read, 'A Crack in Creation' by Jennifer Doudna and Samuel Sternberg and 'The Gene' by Siddhartha Mukherjee, of course, struggling to comprehend all of the information in each book.  There are many reasons to read this thoughtful book.  My next book to read is this book again!

    Not her best work..
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2019*

Nessa Carey is an AMAZING writer, what makes her so incredible is that she lays out textbook concepts and ideas in simple layman's terms. Epigenetics and Junk DNA were amazing because they are basically parts of a molecular biology textbook that has been rewritten to be both interesting and fun. However, this one in particular was both SIGNIFICANTLY dumbed down for a general audience and only a pathetic 150 pages or so: thats an article not a book. you wont learn anything specific or advanced about the crispr cas system. You wont get any of her interesting british style commentary on scientific methods, and in fact, you will get portions of the book that seemed to have been copied and pasted from her last books.. If you want to learn about molecular biology please read her other two great books.

    Eye opener
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020*

Definitely an informative book. Brings everyone up to date (as much as is possible in a fast moving field such as this can be done in a published book). The author shoots straight on a variety of topics within the field of gentic editing. Includes many examples in an assortment of areas such as plant life, insects, reptiles, mammals and of course humans - where DNA editing has already been successfully used. Sometimes with good and sometimes with not so good results. A must read for those of us who are interested in this field but can't or don't want to wade through all the technical jargon in Cell. The future of DNA editing is exciting and somewhat alarming but I'm sure Carey will keep us all posted on a regular basis. 👍
