The Human Genome Project in College Curriculum by Aine Donovan,Ronald Michael Green Pdf

Begun formally in 1990, the U.S. Human Genome Project's (HGP) goals were to identify all the 20,000 to 25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the three billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, and transfer related technologies to the private sector. It was the first large scientific undertaking to address potential issues that arose from project data, and opened up vast possibilities for the use of genetic data and the alteration of our genetic makeup. This volume is the first to address the diverse range of ethical issues arising from the HGP, and enables professors to bring this critically important topic to life in the classroom. ';

Biotechnology and Genetics in Fisheries and Aquaculture by Boston Pickett Pdf

The significance of Biotechnology in the field of fisheries and aquaculture is investigated in view of distributed writing. Aquaculture is the cultivating and farming of oceanic life forms and as it is the quickest developing sustenance area on the planet with its expanding part for economy and safe nourishment system of nations. Because of the proceeding with exhaustion of the fish stocks, cultivating of amphibian life forms, for example, angle, shellfish, mollusks and sea-going plants, is presently a considerable worldwide industry providing a critical extent of the oceanic items devoured. Deficiency in nourishment supply and high costs are the conceivable vital dangers later on, and sea-going items are the important wellsprings of protein and fundamental supplement segments for worldwide sustenance security and wiping out ailing health. Aquaculture additionally assumes an imperative part in country economies through the making of new occupations. In these cases, aquaculture yields should be improved a few overlay to meet the rising requests for angle and other sea-going items in coming years. Biotechnology choices appear to be great potential for expanding water social efficiency, nourishment security and ecological quality around the world. Therefore, this book talked about the significance of biotechnology in aquaculture, and arrangements for the ecologically stable utilize and administration of water social biotechnology in feasible improvement of fisheries.

Developmental Genetics by Billie Wilson Pdf

Developmental Genetics studies how the genes regulate developmental changes in behavior and influence scientific approaches in several fields. Genetics is the study of heredity. Heredity is a biological process where a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents and these genes in turn express specific traits. Some of these traits may be physical for example hair and eye color and skin color etc. On the other hand some genes may also carry the risk of certain diseases and disorders that may pass on from parents to their offspring. Development is behind what one looks like. It is directed by genes, the units of heredity, which are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in all animals (including man), plants, microorganisms and most of the viruses except in some viruses where Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is the genetic material. Developmental Genetics integrates the two disciplines of development and genetics into one. Differential gene expression from genetically identical nuclei creates different cell types. Differential gene expression can occur at the levels of gene transcription, nuclear RNA processing, mRNA translation, and protein modification. Genes are usually repressed. Activation of a gene often means inhibiting its repressor. This leads to thinking in double and triple negatives: Activation is often the inhibition of the inhibitor; repression is the inhibition of the inhibitor of the inhibitor. Besides useful to the students and teachers of the subject the book will also serve as a reference tool to the researchers in genetics developmental biology regenerative medicine and cell biology.

The Medical Book by Clifford A. Pickover Pdf

A lively, accessible, and fully illustrated guide to the history of medicine, from ancient practices to cutting edge innovations. Clifford Pickover continues his popular series that includes The Physics Book and The Math Book with this volume chronicling the advancement of medicine in 250 entertaining, illustrated landmark events. Touching on such diverse subspecialties as genetics, pharmacology, neurology, sexology, and immunology, Pickover intersperses “obvious” historical milestones—the Hippocratic Oath, general anesthesia, the Human Genome Project—with unexpected and intriguing topics like “truth serum,” the use of cocaine in eye surgery, and face transplants.

Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Committee on Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome Pdf

There is growing enthusiasm in the scientific community about the prospect of mapping and sequencing the human genome, a monumental project that will have far-reaching consequences for medicine, biology, technology, and other fields. But how will such an effort be organized and funded? How will we develop the new technologies that are needed? What new legal, social, and ethical questions will be raised? Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome is a blueprint for this proposed project. The authors offer a highly readable explanation of the technical aspects of genetic mapping and sequencing, and they recommend specific interim and long-range research goals, organizational strategies, and funding levels. They also outline some of the legal and social questions that might arise and urge their early consideration by policymakers.
