A Textbook of Genetics
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The science of genetics during almost a century since its origin has made great
advancement giving newer and newer techniques for general amelioration of living
beings in general and humans in particular. Though literature is available
describing in detail these lechniques and their utilities, yet the general
reader is unable to understand them since he is not aware of basic concepts,
principles and terminology.
"A Textbook of Genetics" aims at introducing the basic concepts, principles and
techniques in a way that will enable the reader to understand complex as well as
latest innovations in genetics. In addition, by describing in a picturesque
manner cell structure, chromosomes, DNA, RNA. genes, laws of inheritance, etc.,
the book makes elucidation on genetics, gene therapy, genetic engineering,
genetic profiling, human genome project with cloning, genetic inheritance,
mutations, etc., along with use of these concepts in disease control, disease
resistance, increase in food production with good quality, genetic alteration
for controlling inherited disease and many more areas. Moreover, picture and
glossary will facilitate easy understanding.
This unique presentation on basics o applied genetics is of immense use to
