First sentence: This book describes the creation of contemporary molecular biology.
Description: The sequencing of the human genome and the genomes of several pathogens clearly predicts a future for medicine in which molecular biology will be increasingly important. For this reason, it is critical to understand the principles of molecular biology, how we came to discover these principles, how future discoveries are likely to be made, and how we can best structure our research endeavors to make these discoveries. This monograph, an affectionate, almost loving description of the field and many of its participants by a leading researcher in molecular biology, provides us with exceptionally readable answers to these questions.
