- Answered to foundational books on DNA
It might not exactly qualify as "foundational book on DNA", but in broader terms, it is a foundational work on a physical outlook on life: Erwin Schrödinger's "What is Life?"
I remember that in there he postulates the theory of DNA being an irregular crystal before the structure of DNA was discovered. The book is full of incredible insights such as become clear to sharp-minded people studying a topic very close to the time of its inception.
