Геном
Не заметил как вышел перевод книги «Genome» Ридли.
Книга о 23 главах, каждая глава посвящена соответствующей хромосоме человека. Хотя книга порядком устарела за 10 лет, но пока ничего лучше по геному человека нет из научпоп литературы.
Заказал в интернет-магазине. А пока читаю её в djvu-формате.

Abstract
We attempt to formulate several mathematical problems suggested by
structural patterns present in bio-molecular assemblies. Our description of
these assemblies, by necessity brief, is self-contained, albeit on a super cial
level. If a reader stumbles upon something confusing, this, hopefully, will
become clearer at a later point in the article.
1 Is there Mathematics in Biology?
Day-Night, Day-Night, Day-Night. Summer-Winter, Summer-Winter… .
What is the structure behind this. Where should we look to uncover it? Is
it in the singing of birds, in the
ows of rivers, in the changes of temperature?
We know, with hindsight, what we should do.
Look up into the night sky, nd a few specks of light { planets { that slowly
crawl amongst the unmoving stars, imagine how their routes appear if seen from
the sun, invent calculus, guess di erential equations for the planetary routes,
unravel symmetries of these…. and the world of mathematical wonders opens
to you: Lie groups, algebraic varieties, symplectic manifolds… .
Now try: Alive-Dead, Alive-Dead, Alive-Dead,… . Where do we go from
here?
«… living matter, while not eluding the «laws of physics» as established
up to date, is likely to involve «other laws of physics» hitherto unknown, which
