Download or read book Darwin s Pangenesis and Its Rediscovery Part A written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin’s Pangenesis and Its Rediscovery Part A highlights the findings of Darwin's Pangenesis, an expanded cell theory and unified theory of heredity and variation that strengthened his theory of evolution and explained many phenomena of life. Now, new advances and the discovery of circulating cell-free DNA, mobile RNAs, prions and extracellular vesicles are providing new breakthroughs, thus increasing evidence on the inheritance of acquired characters, graft hybridization, and many other phenomena that Pangenesis suggests. Sections of note in this volume include the rationale, criticisms, influence and recent molecular evidence of Darwin's Pangenesis, as well as its relation to the inheritance of acquired characters, which is often included under the blanket term "transgenerational epigenetic inheritance." Presents a comprehensive approach to Darwin’s Pangenesis, which is so little understood that few have recognized its far-reaching importance, but seems today surprisingly modern Links Darwin's hypothetical gemmules with circulating cell-free DNA, mobile RNAs, prions and extracellular vesicles, shedding new light on an old theory Includes section on Darwin's Pangenesis in relation to the Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characters, a central debate in the history of genetics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin’s Pangenesis and its Rediscovery Part B explores Darwin's Pangenesis, an expanded cell theory and unified theory of heredity and variation from over 150 years ago that strengthened his theory of evolution and explained many phenomena of life. Now, new discoveries on circulating DNA, mobile RNAs, prions and extracellular vesicles are providing striking evidence for the chemical existence of Darwin’s imaginary gemmules. In addition, new evidence for the inheritance of acquired characters, graft hybridization, and many other phenomena that Pangenesis supposedly explains are progressing, and are hence explored in this comprehensive volume. Specific chapters in this new volume include Darwin and Mendel: The Historical Connection, Darwin’s Pangenesis and Graft Hybridization, Darwin’s Pangenesis and Medical Genetics, Darwin’s Pangenesis and Certain Anomalous Phenomena, and Natural Selection and Pangenesis: The Darwinian Synthesis. Presents the only book on Darwin’s Pangenesis, an expanded cell theory and a unified theory of heredity, variation, development and reproduction Highlights Darwin’s tremendous contributions to genetics, as well as Mendel’s legacy and limitations Includes sections on Darwin's Pangenesis in relation to graft hybridization, medical genetics, evolutionary theory, along with many other updates

Download or read book In Pursuit of the Gene written by James Schwartz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of inheritance has captivated thinkers since antiquity, and the unlocking of this mystery—the development of classical genetics—is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. This great scientific and human drama is the story told fully and for the first time in this book. Acclaimed science writer James Schwartz presents the history of genetics through the eyes of a dozen or so central players, beginning with Charles Darwin and ending with Nobel laureate Hermann J. Muller. In tracing the emerging idea of the gene, Schwartz deconstructs many often-told stories that were meant to reflect glory on the participants and finds that the “official” version of discovery often hides a far more complex and illuminating narrative. The discovery of the structure of DNA and the more recent advances in genome science represent the culmination of one hundred years of concentrated inquiry into the nature of the gene. Schwartz’s multifaceted training as a mathematician, geneticist, and writer enables him to provide a remarkably lucid account of the development of the central ideas about heredity, and at the same time bring to life the brilliant and often eccentric individuals who shaped these ideas. In the spirit of the late Stephen Jay Gould, this book offers a thoroughly engaging story about one of the oldest and most controversial fields of scientific inquiry. It offers readers the background they need to understand the latest findings in genetics and those still to come in the search for the genetic basis of complex diseases and traits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. Every student of heredity is brought face to face with the problem of some mechanism of inheritance. Pangenesis was Darwin's solution of this problem. But it was not in the form in which Darwin left it that pangenesis became directly fruitful of results; and no one felt the insufficiency of his hypothesis more keenly than Darwin himself. Writing to Asa Gray in 1867 he said: "The chapter on what I call Pangenesis will be called a mad dream but at the bottom of my own mind I think it contains a great truth." And to J. D. Hooker, in 1868, he wrote: "I feel sure if Pangenesis is now still born it will, thank God, at some future time reappear, begotten by some other father, and christened by some other name." Many men discerned the weak features of the hypothesis, but to Hugo de Vries belongs the credit of having detected the "great truth" it contained. He became its "other father," and rechristened it with another name -a name more nearly like the original, no doubt, than Darwin could have imagined. The pangenesis of Darwin was hardly susceptible of experimental verification, except to the extent that a more intimate acquaintance with the facts showed that the assumption of a transportation of "gemmules" was superfluous. But it contained the germ of de Vries's intracellular pangenesis, the direct progenitor of the mutation theory. It was primarily because of this genetic relationship, together with the masterful way in which the hypothesis is developed, and the accompanying wealth of illustration, that the little German volume, here done into English, was deemed worthy of translation at the present time....
