Showing results for "DNA" in Genetic Engineering

In DNA, Ell’s five-year-old son Zage has become interested in the effects of certain genes on obesity. He’s obtained permission to do research in a university lab where he hopes to test some of his ideas. Work is being done to evaluate the possibility of terraforming the planet Mars by using Ell’s port technology to bring in water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from various other worlds in the solar system.

In near-future Baltimore, scientific breakthroughs in genetic engineering promise to cure the incurable. But these new technologies are not without a dark side. Powerful criminal organizations thrive on peddling illicit genetic wares, waging an underground war unlike any the city has ever seen.

In 2059, every person’s DNA is recorded in the Genome Database. Even though Annette’s perfect baby girl was the product of a one-night stand, she knows the database will give her the name of the sexy stranger who fathered her child. Instead, her baby’s DNA matches that of a man she’s never met who died several years ago.

Thanks to a hair-raising rescue by James Woods in the first book of the Do Not Assume trilogy, Nicoleta has stayed ahead of her genetic history. But now, she and James must think about more than themselves. Smuggling Nicoleta's half-siblings out of Romania and into the United States isn't going to be easy, but the innocent must be protected and hidden from those who would want to use them.

All was well for Martin Reed, a 20-year-old PhD biologist, until one day, he came across a gene sequence that seemed unusual, out of place. With the help of his girlfriend, Helen, Martin began exploring this mystery sequence. Buried in the deep secrets of our DNA lies a set of instructions on how to build a protein molecule. With these instructions, a learned person could create the very essence of what we know as life. Each day brought more detail and further “instructions”. Martin would soon conclude a very simple fact - we are not alone.
