Reviews
Carey's enthusiasm for her subject is infectious.... An excellent introduction to a subject that we are certain to be hearing a lot more about in the near future., [ Junk DNA ], which is frequently humorous and well documented, does a fine job of explaining a complex subject for lay readers who are willing to put in some effort., Engaging, Informative, and Humorous, Dr. Carey's Appealing Book Will Be of Interest to Many Readers., A clear introduction to junk DNA and its involvement in phenomena as diverse as genetic diseases, disease treatments, viral infections, sex determination in mammals, and evolution., Junk DNA provides a cutting-edge, exhaustive guide to the rapidly changing, ever-more mysterious genome., Carey makes two points very clearly: that our understanding is tentative and evolving, and that chromosomal functioning is far more intricate than anyone ever hypothesized., The first popular overview of this field.... [Carey] has an excellent grasp of the history of junk DNA and its implications for both basic and applied science. She has a gift for analogies and converts complex biochemistry into imagery that brings it to a level nonspecialists can grasp.
