Molecular Plant Biology Vol. 1 (Molecular Plant Biology (Paperback), #1) (Practical Approach)
Molecular Plant Biology is an all-new replacement for the original Practical Approach book Plant Molecular Biology that was first published in 1988. The rapid advances made in plant sciences during the past decade are reflected by the need to produce a two-volume book to cover all the relevant methodologies. The new book incorporates many of the fundamental procedures outlined in the original book, but these are fully updated to reflect advances technology and the development of new methodolog...
UEber die Einrichtungen zur Befruchtung britischer und auslandischer Orchideen durch Insekten
by Professor Charles Darwin
Genethics is the most lucid and authoritative guide for general readers to modern genetic technology and the myriad ethical issues it raises.
Gene Technology provides an introduction to the basic principles and methodologies of genetic engineering and a review of current strategies and the applications of gene technology.
The genetic history of the dog is a sensational example of the co-evolution of two species, man and wolf, to each other's mutual benefit. But how did this ancient partnership begin? To answer this question, Professor Bryan Sykes identifies tantalising clues in the recently mapped genetic makeup of both species. Sykes paints a vivid picture of the dog as an ancient and essential ally. While undoubtedly it was the mastery of fire, language and agriculture that propelled Homo sapiens from...
Molecular Genetics
by Frederic P Miller, Agnes F Vandome, and John McBrewster
Baculoviruses are perhaps unique among viruses in the breadth of their biotechnological applications: these insect specific viruses are used not only for insect pest management purposes, but also as laboratory research tools for production of recombinant proteins and for protein display, and as potential vectors for human gene therapy. In addition to highlighting recent advances, this volume provides a comprehensive review of the biotechnological applications of these and other insect viruses i...
Approximately 99.9% of vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The exceptional 0.1% reproduce via asexual or clonal means, which vary wildly and are fascinating in their own right. In this book, John C. Avise describes the genetics, ecology, natural history, and evolution of the world's approximately 100 species of vertebrate animal that routinely display one form or another of clonal or quasi-clonal reproduction. Approximately 99.9% of vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The exceptional 0.1%...
Early Farmers (Proceedings of the British Academy, Vol. 198)
The Neolithic period was one of the great transformations in human history with profound, long-term consequences. In Europe, there were no farmers at 7000 cal BC, but very few hunter-gatherers after about 4000 cal BC. Although we understand the broad chronological structure of this shift, many pressing research questions remain. Archaeologists are still vigorously debating the identity of those principally involved in initiating change, the detail of everyday lives during the Neolithic, includin...
A world-renowned cellular biologist introduces the revolutionary science of epigenetics--a field that demonstrates how the energy of consciousness is as important as shaping life on earth as DNA and chemistry.
In Vitro Transcription and Translation Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, v. 375)
by Guido Grandi
An update of the previous edition, "In Vitro Transcription and Translation Protocols" provides molecular biology laboratories with the most powerful techniques for employing in vitro transcriptions and translation systems. Consisting of sections focusing on technology and applications, its topics include continuous-exchange protein synthesizing systems, energy systems for ATP regeneration in cell-free protein synthesis reactions, as well as examining in vitro translation to study HIV protease ac...
Why are your eyes a different colour from those of your parents? Why do families vary in height? How can diseases be traced through many generations? What is DNA and why did its discovery rock the scientific world? Terms such as "genetic fingerprinting" and "genetic engineering" are frequently used. But a clear explanation of the language of genetics and of the implications behind the advances in its understanding is often difficult to find. The introduction to "Essential Genetics" explodes many...
Advances in Enzyme Regulation (Advances in Enzyme Regulation, #44)
by G. Weber
This volume concentrates on subjects in the field of enzyme regulation which have reached the stage of productive summarization and critical evaluation in the light of extensive new results. This volume, comprising 21 articles by leading authorities, lives up to its goal of advancing a few steps ahead of the general front of mammalian enzyme regulation studies.
This book covers several of the statistical concepts and data analytic skills needed to succeed in data-driven life science research. The authors proceed from relatively basic concepts related to computed p-values to advanced topics related to analyzing highthroughput data. They include the R code that performs this analysis and connect the lines of code to the statistical and mathematical concepts explained.

Complexity in Chemistry, Biology, and Ecology
by D. G. Bonchev and D H Rouvray
Professor Bryan Sykes, the world's leading expert on human genetics, set a goal to locate and analyse as many DNA samples as possible with links to the yeti. In doing so, he found himself entering a strange world of mystery and sensationalism, fraud and obsession and even the supernatural. Protected by the ruthless vigour of genetic analysis he was able to listen to the stories of the yeti without having to form an opinion. The only opinion that mattered was the DNA.Three hair samples from the m...
