Ingenious Genes

by Norbert Landa and Patrick A. Baeuerle

Barron's Microexplorers series looks at the new science of genetic engineering. Young readers begin to understand how modern scientists copy and change genes within individual living cells--which make the altered plant or animal more resistant to certain diseases. But this is only one of many avenues of discovery in this exciting field. Full-color illustrations.
