Biocode: The New Age of Genomics
Biocode: The New Age of Genomics explores the emerging field of genomics and the global effort to read, map, and understand the DNA of all living things. The authors describe how advances in sequencing technology are transforming biology, ecology, and medicine, and how the concept of a 'biocode'—the sum of all DNA on Earth—offers a new way to view life and biodiversity.

From Human Genes to Environmental Genomes
The human genome was only the beginning. Once we could read human DNA, a natural next step was to ask: what about the countless nonhuman lives that share this planet? Here the field of environmental genomics emerged. Instead of isolating and culturing individual species, we began extracting DNA dire...
