This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing enthusiasm in the scientific community about the prospect of mapping and sequencing the human genome, a monumental project that will have far-reaching consequences for medicine, biology, technology, and other fields. But how will such an effort be organized and funded? How will we develop the new technologies that are needed? What new legal, social, and ethical questions will be raised? Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome is a blueprint for this proposed project. The authors offer a highly readable explanation of the technical aspects of genetic mapping and sequencing, and they recommend specific interim and long-range research goals, organizational strategies, and funding levels. They also outline some of the legal and social questions that might arise and urge their early consideration by policymakers.

Download or read book Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-07-02 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's obvious why only men develop prostate cancer and why only women get ovarian cancer. But it is not obvious why women are more likely to recover language ability after a stroke than men or why women are more apt to develop autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Sex differences in health throughout the lifespan have been documented. Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health begins to snap the pieces of the puzzle into place so that this knowledge can be used to improve health for both sexes. From behavior and cognition to metabolism and response to chemicals and infectious organisms, this book explores the health impact of sex (being male or female, according to reproductive organs and chromosomes) and gender (one's sense of self as male or female in society). Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health discusses basic biochemical differences in the cells of males and females and health variability between the sexes from conception throughout life. The book identifies key research needs and opportunities and addresses barriers to research. Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health will be important to health policy makers, basic, applied, and clinical researchers, educators, providers, and journalists-while being very accessible to interested lay readers.

Download or read book Assessing Genetic Risks written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the small “Fly Room†at Columbia University, T.H. Morgan and his students, A.H. Sturtevant, C.B. Bridges, and H.J. Muller, carried out the work that laid the foundations of modern, chromosomal genetics. The excitement of those times, when the whole field of genetics was being created, is captured in this book, written in 1965 by one of those present at the beginning. His account is one of the few authoritative, analytic works on the early history of genetics. This attractive reprint is accompanied by a website, http://www.esp.org/books/sturt/history/ offering full-text versions of the key papers discussed in the book, including the world's first genetic map.

Download or read book Archibald Garrod and the Individuality of Man written by Alexander G. Bearn and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this scholarly and insightful biography, Alexander G. Bearn, a physician and a scientist in the Garrodian tradition, has drawn a portrait of one of the great minds of twentieth century medicine. It is story of intellectual achievement. But the book also gives a fascinating account of the life of a talented professional family and a perspective on the practice of medicine and on medical education at the turn of the century. Archibald Garrod is chiefly remembered as the originator of the concept of inborn metabolic error, an idea which grew from his studies of families with diseases whose biochemical basis he was able to identify. He was widely recognized for this achievement in his own lifetime and held a respected position in the medical establishment, a position accorded to him on the basis of his scientific achievement rather than for any great clinical skill. But to concentrate on the concept of inborn errors is to overlook what has in time turned out to be Garrod's greatest achievement, for it was he who first saw that genetics, biochemistry, and medicine are fundamentally linked. He propounded, to all who would listen, his thesis that disease can only be properly studied in the light of an individual's genetic susceptibility, and that that in turn rests on biochemical individuality. Only by thinking of human diseases as the consequences of genetic and environmental interaction are the advances of today's and tomorrow's medicine possible.
Download or read book Elementary genetics written by Willard Ralph Singleton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Genetics Elementary Genetics is designed as a comprehensive introduction to the subject. The science of genetics has expanded so rapidly in its six decades of existence that there is a wealth of material to draw on. For the sake of simple and direct presentation of the basic principles, examples have been carefully chosen. Some are traditional - Drosophila and maize. Neurospora also appears from Chapter 1 forward throughout the text. There is no special chapter on genetics of microorganisms, any more than on maize or Drosophila, but microorganisms are discussed in many places in the text, wherever they are useful to illustrate a genetic principle. In presenting some newer ways of transferring genetic material, such as transduction and transformation, the microorganisms are the only illustrative material. Hereditary examples are drawn from a wide range of living things, from phage to Pferde (horses). There is a comprehensive chapter on coat color inheritance in mammals. A chapter is devoted to the comparatively new field of biochemical genetics, and another to biochemical genetics in man. Some traditional illustrations of heredity will not be found in this book. For instance, I have not brought in the inheritance of blue versus brown eyes in human beings. There are so many genes modifying eye color that it is difficult, without a breeding test, to tell the true inheritance or genotype of an individual. Much unhappiness has been caused by a literal interpretation of the dictum that the gene for blue eyes is recessive and that blue-eyed parents can never have a brown-eyed child. Eyes that are blue-gray may in fact be the manifestation of a heterozygote for blue and brown. Two such persons could very well have a brown-eyed child. Modifiers undoubtedly affect the major gene for eye color, and it is highly probable that there are cases of low expressivity of the gene for brown that has produced apparently blue eyes in the parent but could give rise to brown eyes in the offspring. For this reason the inheritance of eye color in human beings will not be dealt with in the text. This is the last reference to it. Some examples in the book are also new - for instance, the character so much more striking and also so much more constant than eye color, red hair in human beings. Why this has been neglected for so long as an example ot a hereditary character is something of a mystery.
