Description

In the shadow of global conflicts―from World War II through the tensions of the Cold War―an extraordinary scientific revolution was quietly unfolding. A brilliant collective of geneticists and microbiologists, known as the Phage Group, harnessed the power of bacterial viruses to unlock the very structure of genes, giving birth to Molecular Biology as we know it today. As antimicrobial resistance threatens global health, phages have reemerged as critical subjects of scientific inquiry, yet their pivotal role in the genetic discoveries of the 1940s–1960s remains largely overlooked―until now. The Role of Phages in Early Molecular Genetics: History of an Emerging Discipline bridges history, physics, and virology, offering both scientists and general readers a compelling narrative of how these microscopic entities revolutionized our understanding of life itself. Key Features: Explains how bacterial viruses became the unexpected heroes in humanity’s quest to understand the genetic code Discusses the forgotten historical and social forces―Lysenkoism, Spencerism, and McCarthyism―that shaped scientific progress yet vanished from our collective memory Provides a fascinating parallel between the emergence of phage biology and quantum physics, two revolutionary fields developing in tandem By illuminating the shared patterns of scientific discovery across disciplines, The Role of Phages in Early Molecular Genetics: History of an Emerging Discipline provides a timely reminder of how breakthrough knowledge emerges―and why the Phage Group’s legacy deserves its rightful place in scientific history.
