  1. Encyclopedia of genetics

    London ; Chicago : Fitzroy Dearborn, c2001.

    The Encyclopedia of Genetics includes 125 entries, beginning with the origins of genetics (including historical background on the work of Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin), and progressing to the structure of DNA and modern theories such as selfish genes. All branches of genetics are covered, including the genetics of bacteria, viruses, insects, animals and plants, as well as humans. Important topical issues such as the human genome project, bioethics, the law and genetics, genetic disorders, GM crops, and the use of transgenic animals for food and pharmaceutical products are fully surveyed. A section on techniques and biotechnology includes modern methods of analysis, from DNA fingerprinting to the new science of bioinformatics. The articles, all written by specialists, are largely non-mathematical and advance from general concepts to more comprehensive issues. Each essay is fully referenced, with suggestions for further reading. Extensive illustrations, tables, and a color plate section complement the text. This Encyclopedia will be an indispensable companion for all those studying or working in the various fields of genetic research, and a fascinating reference for all readers with a basic background in biology.

  2. Brenner's encyclopedia of genetics

    Second edition. - Amsterdam : Elsevier/Academic Press, [2013]

    The explosion of the field of genetics over the last decade, with the new technologies that have stimulated research, suggests that a new sort of reference work is needed to keep pace with such a fast-moving and interdisciplinary field. Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics, 2nd edition, builds on the foundation of the first edition by addressing many of the key subfields of genetics that were just in their infancy when the first edition was published. The currency and accessibility of this foundational content will be unrivalled, making this work useful for scientists and non-scientists alik.The explosion of the field of genetics over the last decade, with the new technologies that have stimulated research, suggests that a new sort of reference work is needed to keep pace with such a fast-moving and interdisciplinary field. Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics, 2nd edition, builds on the foundation of the first edition by addressing many of the key subfields of genetics that were just in their infancy when the first edition was published. The currency and accessibility of this foundational content will be unrivalled, making this work useful for scientists and non-scientists alike. Featuring relatively short entries on genetics topics written by experts in that topic, Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics provides an effective way to quickly learn about any aspect of genetics, from Abortive Transduction to Zygotes. Adding to its utility, the work provides short entries that briefly define key terms, and a guide to additional reading and relevant websites for further study. Many of the entries include figures to explain difficult concepts. Key terms in related areas such as biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology are also included, and there are entries that describe historical figures in genetics, providing insights into their careers and discoveries. * This 7-volume set represents a 25% expansion from the first edition, with over 1600 articles encompassing this burgeoning field.* Thoroughly up-to-date, with many new topics and subfields covered that were in their infancy or not inexistence at the time of the first edition. Timely coverage of emergent areas such as epigenetics, personalized genomic medicine, pharmacogenetics, and genetic enhancement technologies* Interdisciplinary and global in its outlook, as befits the field of genetics* Brief articles, written by experts in the field, which not only discuss, define, and explain key elements of the field, but also provide definition of key terms, suggestions for further reading, and biographical sketches of the key people in the history of genetics.

  3. Genetics manual : current theory, concepts, terms

    Rédei, G. P.
    Singapore ; [River Edge, NJ] : World Scientific, c1998.

    This two-volume set offers essays on concepts, definitions of terms and definitions of acronyms. The content was designed for the needs of students, teachers, researchers as well as laymen concerned with: genetics; microbiology; population genetics; human genetics; cytogenetics; biochemistry; evolution; animal breeding; molecular biology; development; environmental biology; plant breeding; biotechnology; immunology; biometry; forensic science; cell biology; pathology; oncogenes; and genetics and society. Although the information is advanced, it should be easily readable - even by beginners - because the entries are cross-referenced, graphically illustrated where necessary, and examples are worked out for more complex cases. This book may also serve, among others, for: organizing lecture courses; reading the current literature; development of research proposals; reviewing manuscripts; preparation for examinations; editorial work; supplemental text for courses; and desk reference.
