In this engaging addition to their critically acclaimed natural science series, the student authors at Tokyo’s Transnational College of LEX explore one of the most fascinating and rapidly changing fields in science today: molecular biology. With the humorous and abundantly illustrated style that is their hallmark, the LEX students quickly draw the reading into an adventure that is both educational and fun! Curious minds of all ages will find the authors’ enthusiasm contagious as they tell the remarkable story of DNA, genetics, and evolution, uncovering the secrets of the human organism and human language along the way.


“I highly recommend What is DNA? to anyone with an interest in the fundamentals of molecular biology. The book’s uniquely personal approach to learning carefully guides the reader through otherwise difficult areas in DNA replication, protein synthesis, and evolutionary cell biology. If you want to get a solid basis understanding of genes and the role they play in our lives, then this is the book for you.”


- Joseph M. Hill, Ph.D., biostatistical consultant and CEO, National Health Economics and Research



“The textbook is billed as ‘a DNA adventure’, and I find it a very fitting description. Because the readers actually go through the same thought process as the writers in coming up with the answers to their questions, it is more likely that the readers will

retain the knowledge and make sure of it for the rest of their lives. Despite the appearance of casualness, the scientific content is accurate and up to date. I wish I had this book when I first studied genetics.”


- Machi F. Dilworth, biochemist, Ph.D., UCLA



“What Is DNA? has a charm and excitement that makes it great fun to read, and by

reading it I have gained a new appreciation of the process of science and the tremendous advances made in the relatively new science of molecular biology. I recommend it to both newcomers to this science, and to enthusiasts as well.”


- R. Howard Berg, Ph.D., plant biologist, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center
