Genetics: Fundamentals and Application

Genetics is an integrated domain of any advanced field of biology in 21st century. However, successful development of future applications will depend on the basic domain knowledge. Genetics: Fundamentals and Applications cover maximum aspects of genetics and it is aimed at readers from multidisciplinary fields of biology. It is an effort to use simple language and examples throughout the book for better understanding of principle of genetics and its application in modern era. Few specific chapters have been incorporated to emphasize the application aspects of genetics in disease pathology and therapeutic areas.

Basic principles of genetics (first 19 chapters) have been described in a cognized way with simplest example sets for beginners at under graduate and post graduate level. In contrary, Application part (last 5 chapters) especially chapters covering cancer genetics, apoptosis and stem cell are written elaborately for post graduate students and researchers in biomedical sciences.

Topics and Features

1.      Consists total 25 chapters covering maximum aspects in genetics.
2.      Simple understanding of genetic principles in plants and animals.
