Hi Charon, What book would you recommend if I want to learn the basics of DNA? I’m looking for something that not only introduces the fundamental concepts but also offers an in-depth understanding as I go along. If you have any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m really interested in diving into the study of DNA, but my curiosity goes beyond just understanding the science. I’m hoping to gain some insights that might also influence how I perceive life in general. I’m looking for recommendations on resources, study tips, or even someone who might be willing to guide me through this journey. Whether it’s books, courses, or personal experiences, I’m open to any suggestions that can help me explore both the technical aspects of DNA and its broader implications. Thanks in advance for any advice or help you can offer!

Thank you all for your responses! I'm trying to understand the concept of how DNA connects all living organisms. Specifically, I'm curious about how genetic material is shared across different species and what this reveals about the relationships between them. Could you explain in simple terms? From what I understand, DNA is like a code of instructions derived from a common ancestor, with adaptations causing mutations over time. How does this code stay consistent in some ways across species while also being unique to each individual? Maybe understanding how DNA tests work might help me better understand the concept. Why do these tests show percentages in different geographic locations? What does this tell us about our particular DNA makeup?

Hi 👋 I would like to build a understanding of how all things share life through DNA. Now my understanding of this topic as a whole is quite limited or I simply don't feel content no matter how much I read about it. And other people's views seem to be quite indifferent making it harder to understand.
