Synopsis
In this book, the distinguished geneticist David Botstein offers help and advice to scientists and physicians daunted by the arcane technical terms that flourish in his discipline. The science of gene function has a vocabulary of specialized, sometimes confusing terms to explain how traits and diseases are inherited, how genes are organized and regulated in the genome, and how the genetic code is read and translated by cells. These terms are often a barrier to full understanding of the underlying concepts. Yet, as more and more individuals learn about their genomes, the information these sequences contain cannot be understood or explained without reference to the basic ideas of genetics. Botstein draws on his long experience as a teacher and pioneering scientist to explain and illuminate what many genetic terms mean and how they entered common usage.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Wie neu. Gebraucht - Wie neu Sofort lieferbar -Genetics is the science of biological inference from regularities in patterns of inheritance. It is a fundamentally analytical enterprise. It has become clear, especially in the last 50 years, that many important things about biology can be learned using genetic analysis that cannot be learned any other way. Genetic analysis is the best window we have into the workings of evolution. This book is organized around the specialized words that capture the most fundamental genetic abstractions. It conveys the meaning and utility of the essential and helpful ones as they are used today. Seller Inventory # 13224
