In quest'opera sono riportate le conoscenze piu aggiornate sulle indagini del DNA che sono comunemente utilizzate per l'identificazione di autori di reati violenti nelle indagini criminali, per l'attribuzione dell'identita a resti umani ed a vittime di disastri di massa, per la ricostruzione di rapporti parentali nelle indagini di paternita. La monografia descrive la biologia dei diversi tipi di DNA che sono utilizzati a questo scopo - i microsatelliti del DNA autosomico, il DNA mitocondriale, i...
Genes and Genius: The Quest for the Intelligence Gene
by Rosalind Arden and Robert Plomin
GENES AND GENIUS will reveal for the first time to a general readership the existence of gene IGF2R, the gene for intelligence. Robert Plomin's credentials to tell the story and implications of its discovery are impeccable: he leads the world's only research team hunting for intelligence genes. His team expects to find several more genes by the time the book is completed in June 2000. This book explains clearly how the research was conducted and what its remarkable findings mean for society. It...
Research Like a Pro with DNA
by Diana Elder, Nicole E Dyer, and Robin Wirthlin
Evolutionary genomics is a relatively new research field with the ultimate goal of understanding the underlying evolutionary and genetic mechanisms for the emergence of genome complexity under changing environments. It stems from an integration of high throughput data from functional genomics, statistical modelling and bioinformatics, and the procedure of phylogeny-based analysis. Statistical Theory and Methods for Evolutionary Genomics summarises the statistical framework of evolutionary gen...
Plastics from Bacteria (Microbiology Monographs, #14)
Due to the possibility that petroleum supplies will be exhausted in the next decades to come, more and more attention has been paid to the production of bacterial pl- tics including polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), biopolyethylene (PE), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), and poly(p-phenylene) (PPP). These are well-studied polymers containing at least one monomer synthesized via bacterial transformation. Among them, PHA, PLA and PBS are well...

In Situ Hybridization
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is a powerful method that has become widely used in laboratories and has been applied to nearly every type of tissue, including human biopsy and autopsy samples, insects embedded in amber, mouse embryos, plant cell cultures, and naked dilated DNA, mRNA or chromosomes.

DNA Microarrays, Part B (Methods in Enzymology)
by Alan R Kimmel Brian Oliver
Modern DNA microarray technologies have evolved over the past 25 years to the point where it is now possible to take many million measurements from a single experiment. These two volumes, Parts A & B in the Methods in Enzymology series provide methods that will shepard any molecular biologist through the process of planning, performing, and publishing microarray results. Part A starts with an overview of a number of microarray platforms, both commercial and academically produced and includes w...
Computational Methods in Genome Research
Chapters originating as plenary lectures at the July 1992 symposium provide a bridge between experimental databases (information) on the one hand and theoretical concepts (biological and genetic knowledge) on the other. Among the topics: informatics and experiments for the Human Genome Project; the
The Lingzhi Mushroom Genome (Compendium of Plant Genomes)
This book becomes an invaluable reference on the genetic resources, genome, genes, chemical compounds, and their therapeutic effects for the Lingzhi mushrooms. It is the first comprehensive compilation of genetic resources, nuclear genome, mitochondrial genome, genes, noncoding RNAs, such as long intergenic noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, circular RNAs, genes in the biosynthetic pathway, chemical compounds and their therapeutic effects, transformation system for the expression of key genes, a bibliom...
Transgenic Wheat, Barley and Oats (Methods in Molecular Biology, #478)
Understanding the physical and genetic structure of cereal genomes and how defined coding and non-coding regions interact with the environment to determine a phenotype are key to the future of plant breeding and agriculture. The production and characteri- tion of transgenic plants is a powerful reverse genetic strategy increasingly used in cereals research to ascribe function to defined DNA sequences. However, the techniques and resources required to conduct these investigations have, until rece...
Phenotypic Characterization of Animal Genetic Resources
These guidelines on Phenotypic characterisation of animal genetic resources address Strategic Priority Area 1 of the Global Plan of Action - ""Characterisation, inventory and monitoring of trends and associated risks"". They offer advice on how to conduct a well-targeted and cost-effective phenotypic characterisation study that contributes to the improvement of animal genetic resources management in the context of country-level implementation of the GPA. An overview of the concepts and approache...
