As interest continues to grow, DNA is expected to occupy the central position in nanobiotechnology because of its structural and chemical characteristics. With chapters written by experts, this text is the first to address the materials science facet of DNA, rather than its chem…
"The living world runs on genomic software-- what Dawn Field and Neil Davies call the 'biocode'- -the sum of all DNA on Earth. In Biocode, they tell the story of a new age of scientific discovery: the growing global effort to read and map the biocode, and what that might mean fo…
An up-to-date treatment of DNA in forensic science, which contains an introduction to the underlying science, and lays the foundation for a discussion of the technology and methods used. It also addresses current applications of DNA techniques.; Topics covered include structure,…
Science tells us we're all related--one vast family sharing a common ancestor who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago. But countless questions remain about our great journey from the birthplace of Homo sapiens. How and when did we end up where we are? Why do we display such a wide …

Explores the debate on the biological significance and cultural meaning of genes in the development of organisms -- the molecular paradigm.
The experimental data that have been generated using new molecular techniques associated with the completion of genome projects have changed our perception of the structural features, functional implications and evolutionary dynamics of repetitive DNA sequences. This volume of G…
