Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves
Regenesis explores the revolutionary field of synthetic biology, where scientists are learning to redesign life itself. George Church and Ed Regis describe how advances in genetic engineering could lead to new forms of renewable energy, the revival of extinct species, and radical improvements in human health and longevity. The book presents both the scientific foundations and the ethical implications of rewriting the genetic code of living organisms.

Writing the Code of Life: Sequencing, Synthesis, and Editing
In programming, clarity begins with understanding the syntax of code. In biology, the syntax is DNA’s four letters—A, T, C, and G—whose orchestrated sequences create proteins, cells, and organisms. Sequencing tells us what the code says; synthesis lets us write new instructions; editing gives us the...
