Description
"In The Misunderstood Gene, Michel Morange points out that DNA and its genes are the centerpiece of modern biology primarily because they can be modified. But they are only the memory that life invented so that proteins can be effciently reproduced. There is far more richness and meaning in the structure and interactions of proteins, he tells us, than in all the theoretical speculations on the role of genes."--BOOK JACKET.
