The Biology and History of Molecular Biology: New Perspectives
This book is a collection of papers which reflect the recent trends in the philosophy and history of molecular biology. It brings together historians, philosophers, and molecular biologists who reflect on the discipline's emergence in the 1950's, its explosive growth, and the directions in which it is going. Questions addressed include: (i) what are the limits of molecular biology? (ii) What is the relation of molecular biology to older subdisciplines of biology, especially biochemistry? (iii) Are there theories in molecular biology? (iv) If so, how are these theories structured? (v) What role did information theory play in the rise of molecular biology? The book will open the way for many future researchers.

An introduction provides a framework by tracing how some of the major statements about the chromosome have been derived. Contributing authors were encouraged to include instructive material in chapter introductions, to give a sense of direction by engaging in some speculation, and when appropriate, to provide detailed genetic maps. Papers are grouped into six subject areas: primary structure (genetic and physical maps), DNA configuration, chromosome replication and segregation, recombinant and major genetic change, and cryptic genetic information.
