So .. it is not easy to get into this field. From the outside we tend to see DNA as some freestanding thing that fascinates us. The biology people intertwine DNA with everything they do. The route to knowing about this stuff therefore goes via learning about biology first. One of my favorite books, Molecular Biology of the Cell, covers DNA thoroughly.. by spending time on it on almost every of its 1300 pages. But it is all in between "the rest of biology". In a way I can understand this of course, but it is very very hard work.
