Expand description
All branches of genetics are covered, including the genetics of bacteria, viruses, insects, animals and plants, as well as human. Important topical issues such as cloning of livestock, bioethics, the law and genetics, genetic disorders and the use of transgenic animals for food and pharmaceutical products are fully surveyed. A section on techniques and biotechnology includes modern methods of analysis, from DNA fingerprinting to the new science of bioinformatics.
The articles, all written by specialists, are largely non-mathematical and progress from general concepts to deeper understanding. The text is supplemented by extensive illustrations, tables, and a color plate section.
