	Talk:Genome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In microbial genomes, most often there is a single circular or linear chromosome and there are may be many extra-chromosomal, self-replicating, linear or circular DNA known as plasmids.
		In eukaryotic genomes, the chromosomes are within the nucleus and the extra chromosomal DNA is in the mitochondria as well as plastids in plants.
		In your example one, the book is one of five references, and in example two it is three of 13 references.

	Genome - Book
		Matt Ridley unfolds the human genome for us in a crisply written and precise "Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters." OK, I don't know what the Hades that means, but this guy is a good writer, a smart scientist, and a friendly teacher of what is a really cool, but intimidating, branch of learning.
		This book brims from page 1 to 313 with passion and enthusiasm, and the reader is swept away in torrents of thrilling possibilities and provocative argument, after which we are left begging for more.
		So there you have it, Genome by Matt Ridley, an entertaining and understandable look at the exciting progress and the promising future for the study, exploration, and eventual mastering of the recipe of life, the genome.

	The human genome: Book of life that rewrites existence
		If the human genome project is biology's race to the moon, as some commentators have claimed, then yesterday was equivalent to the first lunar landing.
		The outcome of the genome race was officially a dead heat.
		The rough draft of the human genome, he said, is "a first glimpse of the instruction book previously known only to God." President Clinton hailed the announcement as "the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind." British Prime Minister Tony Blair praised the announcement via satellite.

	Salon.com Books \| Decoding the genome
		The text of the human genome -- those 3 billion-plus bits of DNA that contain the basic instructions for constructing and operating a human body -- is now in the hands of editors at Science magazine and is due to be published early this year.
		The result is a series of books that walk a tightrope between the minutiae of biochemical structures and mechanics, with their attendant technical vocabularies, and the most open-ended speculation about how a new era of genomics will affect humanity.
		The most recent addition to the shelf of books on the Human Genome Project (and the first account to include the completion of the project), "Cracking the Genome: Inside the Race to Unlock Human DNA" by Kevin Davies, is also the most disappointing.

	Online Bookstore: Genome Book
		Criticisms: Ridley is not actually a scientist, but he sure likes to act like he is. All through the book, he makes numerous declarations about new discoveries, errors in previous "facts", and the current thinking about what the new discoveries really mean, but doesn't really say what the basis for these declarations are.
		While you won't be able to run a genetics experiment after reading this book, you will have a much better appreciation of the effects that our knowledge of the genome will have on our future.
		Some readers may be put off by a reacurring sub-topic in the book that discusses philosophical and ethical issues of our exploration of the genome (however, I also found this discussion interesting).

		Nevertheless, as a compendium of the major media stories on genetics and genomics over the past decade (with a bit of historical background), "Cracking the Genome" might serve as a useful guide for beginners.
		But what is most notable about "Genome" is that Ridley makes the scientific advances he writes about serve as mules for his beliefs, which are those stereotypically libertarian views to be expected in a former science editor and Washington correspondent for the Economist.
		His four-page "Primer" on genetics (in the book's preface) is among the clearest and most succinct summaries of the subject available.

		The book is a bit softer on Venter than many scientists (who may perceive him as traitorous or, worse, too hasty to publish) would like, taking the position that his shotgun approach and competitive spirit improved the project without sacrificing quality.
		Cracking the Genome does that as well, but the book is improved by considering the personalities of the people involved, their interactions, public policy questions, ethical discussions, and science fiction like speculations about the eventual shape of the scientific applications of this work.
		His book is an undertaking of ambitious scope: He aims to paint the personalities in all their human colors and offer an accurate historical account, while also drilling deep enough into the research to do justice to the science.

		Genome is a book about science - it is about DNA and genes, and their effects on human development, health, behavior, and evolution.
		Some members felt Genome's explanations of DNA and chromosomes (or lack thereof) provided a basis to confirm God's hand in the design of people; others felt that the random, mutative nature of genes and the long stretches of 'useless' genetic filler sequences plainly bespeak Darwin's simple descent of man from more primitive species.
		Overall, our Club recommends Genome; it is a book well worth reading, and a good introduction to the myriad topics and implications of the science of genetics.
