Did you know that normal DNA makes up only 10% of our genome? What do the other 90% do? Half of them are “evolutionary genetic remnants” of microorganisms, worms, fish and thousands of DNA sequences belonging to numerous viruses. The second half of our genetic material produces “strange” molecules that regulate how cells function. These sections of our DNA are called the “dark” genome. Twelve real stories, told in surprisingly vivid language, will lift the veil of secrecy for you, destroy the myth that environment and lifestyle do not affect transmitted hereditary traits, and answer questions about how they are related heredity and health. You will find out whether a person can inherit the diseases of his parents, what is the connection between oncology and epigenetics, whether leadership qualities are inherited and much more.
