Genetics & Genomics

Evolutionary quantitative genetics (EQG) provides a formal theoretical foundation for quantitatively linking natural selection and genetic variation to the rate and expanse of adaptive evolution. It has become the dominant conceptual framework for...

This is an introductory text and laboratory manual to be used primarily in undergraduate courses. It is also useful for graduate students and research scientists who require an introduction to the theory and methods of nanopore sequencing. The book has...

Provides a broad snapshot of recent findings showing how the environment and genes influence behavior The great debate of nature versus nurture rages on -- but our understanding of the genetic basis of many behaviors has expanded over the last decade,...

In the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, it was widely assumed that society ought to foster the breeding of those who possessed favorable traits and discourage the breeding of those who did not. Controlled human breeding, or "eugenics" as...

Devised in the 1940s by the biologist C. H. Waddington, the epigenetic landscape is a metaphor for how gene regulation modulates cellular development. As a scientific model, it fell out of use in the late 1960s but returned at the beginning of the...

Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression. Unique in explaining the subject from a plant perspective, it highlights the importance of key processes, many first discovered in plants, that...

DNA testing and its forensic analysis are recognized as the "gold standard" in forensic identification science methods. However, there is a great need for a hands-on step-by-step guide to teach the forensic DNA community how to interpret DNA mixtures,...

Inbreeding, the mating of close kin, and outbreeding, the mating of distant relatives or unrelated organisms, have long been important subjects to evolutionary biologists. Inbreeding reduces genetic diversity in a population, increasing the likelihood...

Genes, Germs and Medicine explores the development of modern biomedical science in the United States through the life of one of the Twentieth Century's most influential scientists. Joshua Lederberg was a scientific renaissance man. He and his...

Thought-provoking essays by scientists, theologians, and ethicists offer an authoritative overview of the CRISPR controversy, from the history of genomics to contemporary ethical concerns.

Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) and DNA Evidence is a vital guide for professionals and practitioners, providing the most complete and current view of the use of DNA from crime scenes and its comparison with DNA test results available on...

This comprehensive book explores both the fundamental and practical aspects of microbial genetics, shedding light on viroids, viruses, phytoplasma, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Unveiling a fresh perspective, the book tackles traditional taxonomical...

An expert discussion of simulation-based approaches to teaching genome sciences In Digital Genomes: Monte Carlo Simulations of Microbes and Evolution, distinguished researcher Weigang Qiu delivers a comprehensive exploration of the role of Monte Carlo...

Originally published in 1977, Physiological Variation and its Genetic Basis. The editor of this volume, and organizer of the symposium on which it is based, was well aware that the enterprise represented an excursion into difficult, and at the time,...

Practical Bioinformatics is specifically designed as an introduction to bioinformatics sequence analysis. Many readers are exploring their future paths or are fascinated by the headlines about interesting gene discoveries and want to understand more...

For decades, Dalton Conley tried to answer the big social questions-about why groups hold together, about inequality, and more-through the traditional tools of his first field, sociology. He eventually found that those tools could take him only so far...

Our genome is the blueprint for our existence: it encodes all the information we need to develop from a single cell into a hugely complicated functional organism. Yet it is more than a static information store: our genome is a dynamic, tightly regulated...

Genomic selection (GS) is a promising tool in the field of breeding especially in the era where genomic data is becoming cheaper. The potential of this tool has not been realized due to its limited adaptation in various crops. Marker Assisted Selection...

This collection of original essays by scientists, theologians, religious studies scholars, and ethicists offers an authoritative, illuminating, and thought-provoking overview of the CRISPR controversy. Genetic science at times ignites explosions of...
