BOOKS on DNA


This is a list of books about DNA and the history of genetics. It contains comments on some books from my personal collection (roughly 100 books about DNA), which I started more than 20 years ago. This list is alphabetical by author. Currently, there are 1245 books in this list.

"Really the ideas needed to grasp the structure [of the double helix] are, if properly present, ridiculously easy, since they do not violate common sense, as quantum mechanics and relativity do. I believe that there is a good reason for the simplicity of the nucleic acids. They probably go back to the origin of life, or very close to it. At that time mechanisms had to be fairly simple or life could not have started."

Francois Jacob (1973, see below) makes a strong argument that the two ideas were not really deemed compatible in the late 1800's, and it was not until the beginning of this century that Mendell's genes could be considered as a valid mechanism for explaining evolution.

  444. Gribbin, J. In Search of the Double Helix - Quantum Physics & Life, (McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1985). This book traces the influence of quantum mechanics on molecular biology. It is written for the "non-specialist", and offers a different perspective on the history of DNA. Obviously, this is from a very reductionistic point of view. While I personally think that you cannot explain ALL of biology from a reductionistic point of view, I do think this approach has been quite successful in many applications - and this book is both an explanation of the approach, as well as a look at its success.

  546. Jacob, F. The Logic of Life: A History of Heredity, (Vintage Books, New York, 1973). This book is an English translation of the French La logique du vivant. This is an excellent historical account of the development of the idea of genes (and DNA) as the source of hereditary units. He traces the history of ideas, in terms of the overall scientific point of view at various times in history. Basically, Jacob proposes that, although Darwin and Mendell were contemporaries, the time was not right for acceptance of Mendellian genetics as the form of Darwinian evolution. He argues that the development of statistical mechanics, and the concept of "negative entropy" (e.g., the universe is running down, or becoming more random, and that it takes energy to prevent things from becoming more disorganised - thus life requires energy to fight the tendency towards decay) were necessary requirements for the acceptance of the "randomness" of the assortment of genes. Thus he strongly relates developments in the physical sciences to ideas in biology.

It is a wonderful historical account of the development of molecular biology, and also is a good source for gaining a basic understanding of the underlying principles of the concepts. Unfortunately, it is now a bit dated, but still nonetheless a good "starting point".

  752. Medvedev, Zhores A. The Rise and Fall of T.D. LYSENKO, (Columbia University Press, New York, 1969). I think this is an important book for several different reasons. First, it is well-written, and tells a nice story about the history of genetics. Perhaps more importantly, it also warns of what can happen when the government tries to control scientific thought. In this particular instance, the government was the Soviet Union, under Stalin. I am told that the communist Chinese still do not officially believe in Mendellian genetics, and that they must be "careful" when they talk about DNA - many government officials consider this as "bourgeoisie capitalistic ideas". See also the book on "heredity and its variability" written by Lysenko.

Highly recommended reading.

I bought this book at a bookstore in Heathrow airport, on my way to a conference in the U.S. It was entertaining reading for the plane trip, although I am not sure I am convinced of the authors contention that plants are trying to communicate basic biochemical facts (such as a picture of the DNA double helix) via some some sort of "jungle television", which natives can experience if they smoke the right psychologically active substance.

I thought some of their points were interesting, but I was a bit dissapointed with their lack of understanding of the science. Having said that, I think that this book is perhaps a quite good discussion of what SOCIETY at large thinks of DNA, which can be different from what is the mindset within the scientific community.

This is the famous book that inspired Crick when he was trying to solve the structure of the DNA helix. Schrödinger makes some predictions about the nature of the genetic material (at the time thought to be PROTEIN (not DNA!), but his predictions turned out to be very true). He discusses in detail the hypothesis (of Max Delbrück) that the genetic information might be stored in the form of a "code" - and uses Morse code as an example. Here are a few quotes:

  1002. "...Consequently, we may safely assert that there is no alternative to the molecular explanation of the hereditary substance..."
    "We shall assume the structure of a gene to be that of a huge molecule, capable only of discontinuous change, which consists in a rearrangement of the atoms and leads to an isomeric molecule. The rearrangements may affect only a small region of the gene, and a vast number of different rearrangements are possible."

  1036. Sinsheimer, R.L. The Strands of a LIFE - The Science of DNA and the Art of Education, (University of California Press, Berleley, 1994). Sinsheimer started his studies of DNA structures in the 1940s, and this autobiography offers a unique glimpse into the development of "molecular biology". This is a good book, although I had hoped there would have been more details about some of his work with DNA - the last half of the book is about his adminstrative roles at Caltech and the University of California, Santa Cruz. However, there IS a small bit towards the end of the book about the origins of the human genome project, which I found quite interesting. Overall the book was a good read, with a broad range of subject material covered.

Benjamin, Inc., New York, 1968, the "Norton Critical Edition" of this was published in 1980, edited by Gunther Stent, with reprints of some of the original papers.). This is a fun, very readable, "gossipy" account of the discovery of the DNA double helix. Of course, it is very biased, but nonetheless it makes good reading, and is very insightful into the personalities and politics involved in solving the basic structure of DNA.

It has managed to withstand the test of time, and is recommended as a good starting point for the "non-specialist".
