The achievement itself was celebrated at the highest levels (President and Prime Minister) on both sides of the Atlantic, and rightly so. DNA sequencing has become sufficiently c- mon now, even to the extent of being used in law courts, that it is easy to forget how technically difficult it was and how cleverly the sequencing teams solved those problems in the exciting race to finish by the turn of the century [1, 2]. The fanfares were misplaced, however, in an important respect. The metaphors used to describe the project and its biological significance gave the impression to the public at large, and to many scientists themselves, that this sequence would reveal the secrets of life. DNA had already been likened to a computer program [3]. The “genetic program” for life was therefore to be found in those sequences: A kind of map that had simply to be unfolded during deve | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Brain; Brain damage; Brain development; Chromosom; Genetics; Mammalian brain; Neurodegeneration; Neurodevel | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-60761-287-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-61779-648-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-60761-287-2 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Busines |
