Description: "The year 2003 marked the fiftieth anniversary of James Watson's and Francis Crick's discovery of the structure of DNA. Erwin Fleissner, an eminent cancer researcher and teacher, offers a personal and professional reflection on the most significant developments in molecular genetics and cell biology over the past fifty years. Vital Harmonies is a look at these crucial scientific advances and an insider' perspective on what scientists have actually learned from them."--BOOK JACKET.
