Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and well-written text provides thorough understanding of the principles and applications of cytogenetics and genetics in an easy-to-understand style. The text is divided into Four parts. Part I on Principles of Cytogenetics deals with evolution and structure of cell, cell division and change, and structure of genetic material. Part II on Principles of Genetics provides detailed discussions on transmission, distribution and arrangement of genetic material, and evolution of species. Part III which is on Molecular Genetics discusses functions of genetic material including biotechnology and genetic engineering, and the last Part IV on Quantitative Genetics deliberates on the course of genetic material in populations. A historical approach to the subject has also been presented to show the continuity and progress. KEY FEATURES: Incorporates latest and up-to-date information on the subjects covered. Provides review questions at the end of each chapter to test the understanding of the concepts discussed. Gives ample references to explore further. Includes a glossary of important terms. The book is eminently suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of botany, agriculture, zoology and biotechnology for courses in genetics/genetics and cytogenetics. In addition, the book would also be useful to students appearing in different competitive examinations.

Book excerpt: In this book I have endeavored to state and to explain the basic principles of biological inheritance and to show the importance of those principles to man, to the improvement of plants and animals, and to organic evolution. I have attempted to present this material in a simple fashion so that any reader can grasp the fundamentals of heredity in spite of limited biological training. However, I have also included some of the data that support these principles so that the student who wishes can acquire an adequate background for further studies in heredity, and I have added a fairly extensive bibliography so that the more serious student will have a diversified list of some of the items of the research literature should he wish more information on a subject than a book of this size can offer. Throughout this book I have stressed general principles rather than practical applications and have drawn my illustrations from both the Plant and the Animal Kingdoms. For the reader who is interested in human biology, references to inherited traits are numerous, and Chapters 3 and 19 should be of especial importance. The emphasis on principles and the variety of the illustrations should make this book of value to students of agriculture, psychology, and sociology. It should serve also as a foundation for advanced work in genetics and cytogenetics...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, in-depth explanation of the basic concepts and interpretations involved in chromosome analysis, a critical technique in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of a wide variety of conditions. Designed for the health care provider who must use and explain the often complex results of these tests, this book details in understandable language the various applications of chromosome analysis in clinical settings and the clinical significance of abnormal results. In addition, the book offers an informative tutorial on basic laboratory procedures (including microscopy, photomicrography, automation, computerized karyotyping, and QA/QC), reports on novel synergistic technologies such as FISH, and discusses issues in genetic counseling. Enlightening and accessible, The Principles of Clinical Cytogenetics constitutes an indispensable reference for today's physicians and managed care practitioners who depend on the cytogenetics laboratory for the diagnosis of their patients' ailments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book provides information on plant cytogenetics for students, instructors, and researchers. Topics covered by international experts include classical cytogenetics of plant genomes; plant chromosome structure; functional, molecular cytology; and genome dynamics. In addition, chapters are included on several methods in plant cytogenetics, informatics, and even laboratory exercises for aspiring or practiced instructors. The book provides a unique combination of historical and modern subject matter, revealing the central role of plant cytogenetics in plant genetics and genomics as currently practiced. This breadth of coverage, together with the inclusion of methods and instruction, is intended to convey a deep and useful appreciation for plant cytogenetics. We hope it will inform and inspire students, researchers, and teachers to continue to employ plant cytogenetics to address fundamental questions about the cytology of plant chromosomes and genomes for years to come.

Pasternak The Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text expandsits coverage of the molecular genetics of inherited human diseaseswith the latest research findings and discoveries. Using a unique,systems-based approach, the text offers readers a thoroughexplanation of the gene discovery process and how defective genesare linked to inherited disease states in major organ and tissuesystems. All the latest developments in functional genomics,proteomics, and microarray technology have been thoroughlyincorporated into the text. The first part of the text introduces readers to the fundamentalsof cytogenetics and Mendelian genetics. Next, techniques andstrategies for gene manipulation, mapping, and isolation areexamined. Readers will particularly appreciate the text'sexceptionally thorough and clear explanation of genetic mapping.The final part features unique coverage of the molecular geneticsof distinct biological systems, covering muscle, neurological, eye,cancer, and mitochondrial disorders. Throughout the text, helpfulfigures and diagrams illustrate and clarify complex material. Readers familiar with the first edition will recognize the text'ssame lucid and engaging style, and will find a wealth of new andexpanded material that brings them fully up to date with a currentunderstanding of the field, including: * New chapters on complex genetic disorders, genomic imprinting,and human population genetics * Expanded and fully revised section on clinical genetics, coveringdiagnostic testing, molecular screening, and varioustreatments This text is targeted at upper-level undergraduate students,graduate students, and medical students. It is also an excellentreference for researchers and physicians who need a clinicallyrelevant reference for the molecular genetics of inherited humandiseases.
