Wickelgren tells the story of the race to map the human genome.
In this fascinating book, one of the world's most eminent developmental biologists discusses some of the exciting new insights into how genes control development. Walter Gehring describes in vivid detail his essential contributions to the landmark discovery of the homeobox, a characteristic DNA segment found in the genes of all higher organisms from the fruitfly to humans, and he explains how this has provided the key to our modern understanding of development and evolution. The book thus becomes not only a lucid discussion of genetics but also an engaging description of the art of scientific investigation. Gehring begins his story by looking at the work of the many researchers who laid the ...
Gene Control offers a current description of how gene expression is controlled in eukaryotes, reviewing and summarizing the extensive primary literature into an easily accessible format. Gene Control is a comprehensively restructured and expanded edition of Latchmans Gene Regulation: A Eukaryotic Perspective, Fifth Edition. The first part of the book deals with the fundamental processes of gene control at the levels of chromatin structure, transcription, and post-transcriptional processes. Three pairs of chapters deal with each of these aspects, first describing the basic process itself, followed by the manner in which it is involved in controlling gene expression. The second part of the b...
This book has a distinguishing feature of having condensed material with adequate information on genetic engineering especially of the microbes. The book covers almost all the topics of genetic engineering for the graduate, postgraduate students and young research scholars of biological sciences. The book is written as per syllabus of genetic engineering paper for Masters course in biotechnology, biochemistry, life sciences of most of the universities. The book is much useful for the students of Masters degree. Emphasis is given on the basic fundamentals. The book contains twelve chapters starting from ' Isolation, purification and estimation of nucleic acids' as chapter 1. The chapter descr...
Revered as the most prestigious tournament in golf, the Masters commands international attention, even among nongolfers. The first and second editions of The Masters: A Hole-by-Hole History of America’s Golf Classic took the unique approach of tackling Augusta National hole by hole. Each hole had its own chapter, with colorful stories on the greatest shots, biggest disasters, and most amazing events that took place on each. David Sowell returns to Augusta with the third edition of The Masters, adding more history and updating each hole with additional stories of greatness and tales of woe for a new generation of golfers led by Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and Patrick Reed, as well as from ...
This volume provides a broad, state-of-the-art coverage of diverse technical topics in gene expression in mammalian cells, including the development of vectors for production of proteins in cultured cells, in transgenic animals, vaccination, and gene therapy; progress in methods for the transfer of genes into mammalian cells and the optimization and monitoring of gene expression; advances in our understanding and manipulation of cellular biochemical pathways that have a quantitative and qualitative impact on mammalian gene expression; and the large-scale production and purification of proteins from cultured cells.

Thoroughly revised and updated with the latest data from this every changing field, the Ninth Edition of Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes provides a clear, balanced, and comprehensive introduction to genetics and genomics at the college level. The Ninth Edition continues to treat transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary ge
A collection of thirteen short stories written over the past few years as the spirit moved him, by author Gene Masters. An idea might come at an odd time, stew in his mind for a while, and he would have to set it down on paper. It would not be nearly enough for a novel, but would be an interesting story anyway - at least to the author. He would come back to it later, revise, add, subtract. One can easily tell from the mix of subjects, and the eclectic subject matter, that Gene's mind works in strange ways. There's his history - decades old history, now - in diesel-electric submarines, coupled with his fascination with all things military. These are contrasted with his conviction that war, however apparently valid the cause, is the ultimate expression of mankind's utter stupidity.Where the rest of these stories came from Masters cannot say: a man sentenced to crucifixion for a minor offense, a person who cannot quite glimpse the ghosts pursuing him, a mob hit gone sour, some social commentary, and some other weird happenings.These are thirteen stories that he considers his most interesting. He does so hope you agree.
