Genética eres tú

There are many cinematographic references that come to mind when we think about genetics: who does not remember that wonderful Jurassic park on remote Isla Nublar, or the dystopian society that Gattaca drew? But what is true in all that? Genetics, beyond these megalomaniac ideas, could be defined, in the words of the author, as "the study of genes, not only as the basic unit of inheritance of characters -or traits- from generation to generation, but also taking into account count their cellular functions. " There is nothing. Based on this definition, Rosa García-Verdugo invites us to accompany her on a fascinating journey in which we will discover not only what genetics is, but what its real applications are and what we can expect from this fascinating discipline of biology.
