Genetics: From Genes to Genomes - by Malcolm Kripke (Hardcover)

About the Book

Genetics is the branch of biology concerned with the examination of genetic variation, genes, and heredity within organisms. Fundamental principles of genetics include the inheritance of traits and the molecular mechanisms governing gene inheritance. This discipline also encompasses the investigation of gene function and behavior. It scrutinizes gene function, structure, distribution, and variation across various contexts such as population, organism, and the cell. Major sub-fields within genetics include epigenetics and population genetics. Epigenetics delves into the genetic processes interacting with an organism's environment and experiences to shape its development and behavior. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex concepts and applications related to the field of genetics. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on this field have been included herein. It is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
