Does nucleic acid testing use genetic technology?
Why do some people not get drunk after a thousand cups, while others only drink one cup?
Is it because I'm a picky eater that I don't like coriander?
Why do some people never gain weight no matter how much they eat?
Can longevity be inherited?
Are genetically modified foods safe?
The answers to these questions are hidden in the little genes. To understand genes is to understand ourselves!
Popular science writer Yin Ye vividly explains the secrets of genes. Gene is not only the basic unit of genetic material, but also the basis of all biological information. If the operating mechanism of genes is cracked, the mystery of life will be cracked, and there will be newer answers to human character, disease, race, identity, and destiny.
This book explains 17 topics related to genes, and combines the perspectives of humanities and philosophy to explain life sciences. It not only introduces genetic issues of public concern, but also incorporates philosophical thoughts about life.
Reader comments
The first time I got to know Yin Ye was when I watched the "This Thought" talk show. Many of his views and scientific arguments gave me a refreshing feeling. I was particularly impressed by his mention of the impact of intestinal flora on various human performance and health conditions.
Reading his book is as interesting as reading a novel. The book quotes classics and classics, compares experimental results at home and abroad, and shows the development process from ancient to modern times. The author's words are humorous and interesting, and the examples are vivid and vivid. I have finished reading without knowing it, and it can be said that there is still more to it.

To sum up, it's destiny. It has been doomed before birth, so now there is a saying that is true, the watershed in life begins with the mother's amniotic fluid. The book is very good. It is also a book worth learning to read.
Life science is an eternal theme of human scientific research. This book takes genes as the main line and covers various aspects of knowledge in life science and other fields. The words are humorous and easy to understand. It is a rare popular science book that allows readers to know more fresh knowledge. Thumbs up for the author👍👍👍
The content of this book is really interesting! It answered many questions related to genes in an easy-to-understand way, allowing me to understand the mysteries of genes. Moreover, the book also incorporates humanistic and philosophical perspectives, which made me think more deeply about life. It turns out that our personality, disease and even destiny are related to genes. After reading this book, I feel that I have a more comprehensive understanding of life, and I also cherish and be grateful for everything in life. Recommended to friends who are interested in genes!
"Instead of "sorrowing the brief moment of my life and envying the infinity of the Yangtze River", it is better to embrace the open-mindedness that "the heaven and the earth could not last for a moment" and "things and I are endless", and enjoy the heat of life to the fullest. See the heaven and the earth, see all living beings, and see yourself." As a science student, what kind of writing can you do so well? As a science student, I can only say that it is really well written and a very good science popularization.
It's so beautiful. Life science is written in such an easy-to-understand way. The path leads to purity and simplicity.
It feels good to listen to it. What is said in the book is reasonable and well-founded.
Every chapter is science, telling you how your husband and wife get along, and how you remember the taste of your hometown? What's going on with the gut-brain axis? I recommend it to everyone.
Great and simple, well worth reading
A very good book, easy to understand and very valuable
Seeking the essence, origin of life and all things in the universe is the ultimate goal of mankind
I am a biology teacher. The more I read, the more I love reading. It is a confirmation and expansion of textbook knowledge and the future development prospects of biology. Fine
