"Principles of Genetics is one of the most popular texts in use for the introductory course. It opens a window on the rapidly advancing science of genetics by showing exactly how genetics is done. Throughout, the authors incorporate a human emphasis and highlight the role of gen…
Cell biology is taught in classrooms around the world to provide students with a firm conceptual grounding in biology. This text provides basic, core knowledge about how cells work and uses colour images and diagrams to emphasize concepts and aid understanding. « The gold stand…
In plants, genetic diversity is important for species adaptation in nature and for crop improvement through breeding. For decades, genetic diversity was measured at the nucleotide and gene level. With the abundance of whole genome sequences and chromosome level genome assemblies…
Melanoma accounts for the majority of the mortality from all types of skin cancers. Five to ten percent of the cases are familial melanoma, yet more than 50% of the melanoma families cannot be explained by established susceptibility genes. By understanding the genetics behind un…
Human aging is accompanied by frailty, susceptibility to disease, decline in motor and cognitive functions, and overall decline in physiological function as well as day to day living. The current work presents genomic and epigenomics approaches for studying the complex phenotype…
In this thesis I studied cause and effect of Cyto Nuclear Incompatibility (CNI) induced speciation in plants. By combining comparative genomics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics with large scale crossing experiments I was able to infer part of the genetic machinery underlying CN…
"This guide discusses chromosomal abnormalities and how best to report and communicate lab findings in research and clinical settings. Providing a standard approach to writing cytogenetic laboratory reports, the guide further covers useful guidance on implementing International …
"In Functional Analysis of DNA and Chromatin, expert researchers in the field provide an overview of standard and more recent methods for the functional analysis of the genetic material. These include methods on DNA-dye binding modes, chromatin staining, nuclear dispersion assay…
Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes, Second Edition expands upon the previous edition with current, detailed methods developed for working with BACs. Updated chapters included in this edition present fundamental techniques used for BAC construction and characterization, advanced pr…
