Description
Advances in molecular biological research in the latter half of the twentieth century have made the story of the gene vastly complicated: the more we learn about genes, the less sure we are of what a gene really is.
Knowledge about the structure and functioning of genes abounds, but the gene has also become curiously intangible.
This collection of essays renews the question: what are genes?
Philosophers, historians and working scientists re-evaluate the question in this volume, treating the gene as a focal point of interdisciplinary and international research.
It will be of interest to professionals and students in the philosophy and history of science, genetics and molecular biology.
