Chromosomal and Genomic Structures and Functions (eBook, ePUB)

Volume 1: Chromosomes and Cell Division
Redaktion: Bhat, Tariq Ahmad; Al-Khayri, Jameel M.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This new two-volume set presents the classical and advanced aspects of chromosomal and genomic structures and functions with special reference to chromosomes and cell division, providing a comprehensive resource for beginners, experts, and those venturing into the fascinating science of chromosomes and cell division.

Volume 1 presents in-depth studies of the relationships and functional mechanisms of chromosomes, genes, and biological mechanisms to the benefit of organisms at large and in humans in particular. Understanding these biological concepts of chromosomal and genomic structures and functions has had a profound effect on society, leading to better health through improved inheritance patterns, accurate disease diagnosis, a better understanding of human gene variations, improved drug and pharmaceutical production, more sensitive and specific crime scene forensics, and increased production of different varieties of improved agronomic traits, which have revolutionized crop science, medical sciences, and advanced diagnostic developments.

Volume 2: Genetic Material Structure and Functions explores the future of genetic engineering and discusses epigenetics, the role of the nucleus, inheritance and its biological mechanisms, cytoplasmic inheritance, DNA as a genetic material, nuclear membranes, gene expression in prokaryotes, gene expression in eukaryotes, and genetics and evolution.
