Apple Academic Genetics HB by Edward Conrad
In the modern world, genetics has brought about more dramatic breakthroughs than any other field of biological study. These breakthroughs have a wide impact, from curing diseases to growing better vegetables to catching criminals. The field of genetics is in the midst of a revolution, and at the center of it is genetic engineering: the alteration of genetic material by direct intervention in genetic processes. Some of the biggest strides in genetic engineering and related fields are taking place in the realm of medicine. Genetic engineering in the area of health aims at understanding the causes of disease and developing treatments for them. Gene therapy is another outgrowth of these studies.Selected Contents: Contributions of Gut Bacteria; Quelling Targets the rDNA Locus and Functions; Genome-Wide Analysis; Role of BRCA2 Mutation Status on Overall Survival Among Breast Cancer Patients; Sds22 in Epithelial Morphology; Unbalanced Chromosome; Impaired Dendritic Cell Development and Antiviral; Scrystallin and Bfsp Expression; Widespread Evidence for Horizontal Transfer of Transposable Elements Across Drosophila Genomes; Contribution ofCHEK2to the TP53-Negative Li-Fraumeni Phenotype
