En palabras de uno de los divulgadores científicos más importantes de la actualidad, Carl Zimmer, "hay miles de genes que juegan un pequeño papel, entre 8 y 10 mil genes, cada uno de ellos responsables de una pequeña fracción de milímetro de nuestra altura total". Con motivo de la publicación en España de su último libro, 'Tiene la sonrisa de su madre' (Capitán Swing), Zimmer ha conversado con Javier del Pino sobre la herencia genética.

The Book ReviewCarl Zimmer on Defining LifeIn his new book, “Life’s Edge,” Carl Zimmer asks the modest questions: What is life? How did it begin? And by what criteria can we define things as “living”? On this week’s podcast, Zimmer, a science columnist for The Times, talks about just how difficult it can be to find answers.“There are actually philosophers who have argued that maybe we should just try not to define life at all, in fact; that maybe we’re getting ourselves into trouble,” Zimmer says. “If you look for a definition of life from scientists, you will find hundreds of them; hu...

Los virus son los seres vivos más pequeños que conoce la ciencia, sin embargo, controlan a todo el planeta.

Los virus han sido parte de nuestras vidas durante tanto tiempo, de hecho, en realidad somos parte virus: el genoma humano contiene más ADN de virus que nuestros propios genes. Mientras tanto...

Give and TakeEpisode 186: She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity, with Carl ZimmerMy guest is Carl Zimmer. His newest book is She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity. In it he presents a profoundly original perspective on what we pass along from generation to generation. Charles Darwin played a crucial part in turning heredity into a scientific question, and yet he failed spectacularly to answer it. The birth of genetics in the early 1900s seemed to do precisely that. Gradually, people translated their old notions about heredity into a language of genes. As the technology for studying genes became cheaper, millions of people ordered genetic tests...

Today, you can send a bit of your DNA to companies such as 23andMe and get a report on your personal genome (ancestry, health risks) for about $200.
