From the Foreword by Candy Cooley: “What a delight it is … to read a book which takes complex scientific concepts and ensures they are understandable by all.” With activities and answers, reflection points and a glossary, this interactive textbook supports the ‘Fit for Practice in the Genetics Era’ competence framework, offering an introduction to the theory of genetics and then using common genetic conditions/disorders as case studies to he ...
Этой весной научные и не только издания во всем мире писали о светящемся табаке. Один из его создателей – профессор из Австрийского Института Науки и Технологий Федор Кондрашов. В этом выпуске он рассказывает Илье Колмановскому, зачем он и его коллеги запрограммировали в геном табака гены светящихся грибов. А еще Федор рассказал, как спасают одну из самых редких птиц современности, кулика-лопатня (lopaten.birdsrussia.ru/project/lifeway/). Наш юб ...
<!– <description> –><p>Rapid technological developments have led to increasingly efficient sequencing approaches. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is increasingly common and has become cost-effective, generating an explosion of sequenced data that need to be analyzed. The skills required to apply computational analysis to target research on a wide range of applications that include identifying causes of cancer, vaccine des ...
The genealogical model has a long-standing history in Western thought. The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which assumptions about the genealogical model—in particular, ideas concerning sequence, essence, and transmission—structure other modes of practice and knowledge-making in domains well beyond what is normally labeled “kinship.” The detailed ethnographic work and analysis included in this text explores how these assumptions ...
As recently as the middle of this century, cancer was still a mysterious disease. It seemed to strike with reckless abandon, and once it had gripped its victim, doctors could do little more than relieve the pain, steady the pulse and ease the breathing. It is all too easy now to reflect on this sad state of affairs without realizing that cell biology itself was also a rudimentary science. In the past few years, a vastly different view of cancer ...
Американский генетик Дэвид Райх – один из главных революционеров в области изучения древней ДНК, которая для понимания истории человечества оказалась не менее важной, чем археология, лингвистика и письменные источники. В своей книге Райх наглядно показывает, сколько скрытой информации о нашем далеком прошлом содержит человеческий геном и как радикально геномная революция меняет наши устоявшиеся представления о современных людях. Миграции наших ...
