54. Crick, F. WHAT MAD PURSUIT - A Personal View of Scientific Discovery, (Basic Books, Inc., New York, 1988). I used a quote from this book in the introduction to my thesis:

"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."

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.

107. 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.

115. Judson, H.F. The Eighth Day of Creation - Makers of the Revolution in Biology, (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1979; an expanded edition of this has been published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press in 1996). This is a comprehensive treatise (686 pages!), detailing the work leading up to, and past the discovery of the double helix. 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".

201. Schrödinger, E. WHAT IS LIFE & MIND and MATTER , (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1944). 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:

"...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."

233. Verma, Ram S. (editor) Advances in Genome Biology, Volume 5A: Genes and Genomes. , (JAI Press, Inc., Greenwich, Connecticut, 1998). The first article is a review about DNA Structures (by Sinden, Pearson, Potaman, and Ussery - rather lengthy, though, at 141 pages, and perhaps a bit boring for those who aren't interested in all the technical details!).
234. Verma, Ram S. (editor) Advances in Genome Biology, Volume 5B: Genes and Genomes. , (JAI Press, Inc., Greenwich, Connecticut, 1998). This volume deals mainly with chromosomes and chromatin structures, consisting of 7 review articles.

242. Watson, James D. The Double Helix, (W.A. 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.
243. Watson, J.D., editor, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology XLVII: Structures of DNA, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, New York, 1982).
