Description for Biology, Computing, and the History of Molecular Sequencing: From Proteins to DNA, 1945-2000
Paperback. When we talk about biomolecular sequencing, it is the relatively recent Human Genome Project that comes to mind. However, sequencing has a longer and more complex history which begins in the 1940s and is presented for the first time in this book. Series: Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History. Num Pages: 260 pages, 46 black & white illustrations, 1 tables. BIC Classification: 3JJP; HBTB; MBX; PDX; PSAK1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 143 x 216 x 19.

Sequencing is often associated with the Human Genome Project and celebrated achievements concerning the DNA molecule. However, the history of this practice comprises not only academic biology, but also the world of computer-assisted information management. The book uncovers this history, qualifying the hype and expectations around genomics.
