About This Book

A Textbook of Genetics serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the principles of heredity, genetic variation, and the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic processes. It covers a wide range of topics, from classical Mendelian genetics to advanced molecular genetics, offering insights into how genes are inherited, expressed, and regulated. This textbook provides essential knowledge on the structure of DNA, the process of gene replication, transcription, and translation, as well as the mechanisms behind genetic mutations and their impact on organisms. In addition to classical genetic principles, modern topics such as genomics, gene mapping, and gene therapy are explored. The role of genetic technology, including recombinant DNA technology, CRISPR gene editing, and personalized medicine, is discussed in detail, reflecting the latest advancements in the field. The textbook also delves into genetic disorders, exploring their molecular basis and current methods for diagnosis and treatment. Designed for both students and professionals, this textbook balances foundational genetic concepts with cutting-edge research, providing a thorough understanding of how genetics influences development, disease, and evolution. It is an essential tool for those interested in fields such as molecular biology, biotechnology, medicine, and bioinformatics, offering a clear and structured approach to this ever-evolving subject. "The Textbook of Genetics" offers a detailed exploration of genetic principles, from classical inheritance to modern molecular genetics and biotechnological advances. Contents: 1.
