Must read books on Genomics and DNA

Books on DNA and proteins that I can highly recommend:

I am a keen reader of everything and anything I can get my hands on related to DNA and Genomics as well as proteins and cell biology.

Here are a list of books that I can highly recommend:

                                            Books on Genes, Genetics and Genomics                                            

Junk DNA: A Journey Through the Dark Matter of the Genome
Written by Nessa Carey
This is an excellent book on the functions found in the "Junk DNA" of the Genome.



Written by Kat Arney which also has a very popular genetics podcast "Naked Genetics".
You can also find her podcast on iTunes
This is a very thorough and comprehensible book on DNA and genetics covering everything from DNA and genes to the current state of the art in genome sequencing.
