A laboratory and reference guide introducing the genetics and cytology of Drosophila melanogaster. The work includes genetic principles, chromosome studies, mutation analysis, and experimental techniques widely used in biological research and teaching.
This book explores the genetic basis of behavior, focusing on how inherited traits influence behavioral patterns in animals and humans. Ehrman and Parsons integrate concepts from classical genetics, population genetics, and evolutionary biology to explain variation in behavior. The text presents experimental evidence, particularly from model organisms such as Drosophila, to demonstrate how gene…
Glossary of Animal Breeding is a reference work that compiles and explains key terms and concepts used in animal breeding and genetics. The book is intended to support students, educators, and professionals in agriculture and veterinary sciences by providing clear definitions of technical terminology. It covers topics such as genetic inheritance, selection methods, breeding systems, and reprodu…
This book provides a foundational exploration of bacterial genetics and the interaction between bacteria and their viruses (bacteriophages). William Hayes presents key principles of genetic recombination, mutation, gene transfer mechanisms such as conjugation, transformation, and transduction, and the molecular basis of heredity in microorganisms. The work is widely regarded as a classic refere…
This book provides an introduction to the principles of developmental genetics, focusing on how genes regulate the processes of growth, differentiation, and embryological development. It discusses fundamental genetic mechanisms underlying cell specialization and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors during development. The text is part of a scientific series aimed at present…
Mycogenetics provides a comprehensive introduction to the genetics of fungi, covering fundamental concepts such as mating systems, recombination, segregation, linkage, mutation, and parasexuality across major fungal groups. Burnett integrates classical genetic analysis with experimental evidence from model organisms (e.g., Neurospora, Aspergillus, Coprinus, and yeasts), emphasizing the biologic…
Fungal Genetics is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook covering the genetic systems of fungi and their value as experimental models in biology. The book explores fundamental genetic mechanisms such as mutation, recombination, chromosome mapping, gene structure, and gene action. It also examines mating systems, sexual development, extranuclear inheritance, and the genetics of pathogenicit…
Introduction to Quantitative Genetics is a foundational textbook that presents the theoretical principles underlying genetic variation in quantitative (continuously varying) traits. The book focuses on how genetic and environmental factors contribute to phenotypic variation and how these factors can be analyzed mathematically and statistically. Falconer systematically explains topics such as g…
Cell Biology: A Series of Monographs is a scholarly book series consisting of in-depth research volumes, each devoted to a specific topic within cell biology. The series emphasizes molecular, structural, physiological, and genetic aspects of cells in both plant and animal systems. Individual volumes are typically edited collections authored by leading researchers in the field and are intended f…
This book explores the mechanisms of gene action, emphasizing how genes control biochemical processes and influence cellular function.
