### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reads like a thriller
*by R***S on 19 January 2018*

A very interesting introduction to the science behind genetics and genomics that reads like a thriller. Not a dry and uninteresting text book, but the sort of book you can't put down until the last page. Comprehensive and well written, with plenty of references to the original research documents quoted if you want to go deeper into the subject.
