Ganador del Premio Internacional de Divulgacion de la Ciencia Ruy Perez Tamayo 2020El acertijo de la vida es una fascinante narracion de los hallazgos mas importantes de la Biologia durante el siglo XX y su revolucion para dar paso a la genetica.
Die Epigenetik erweitert das seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert diskutierte Verhältnis zwischen Erbanlagen und Umweltfaktoren um eine völlig neue Dimension: die Rückwirkung persönlicher Erfahrungen auf die Ausprägung der Gene.
This fifth edition of the successful, long-selling classic has been completely revised and expanded, omitting some topics on obsolete DNA electrophoresis, but now with a completely new section on electrophoretic micro-methods and on-the-chip electrophoresis.

This first book on the market covers the many new and important RNA species discovered over the past five years, explaining current methods for the enrichment, separation and purification of these novel RNAs.
Concise but complete, this mini-encyclopedia contains over 1,500 entries covering all important concepts, compounds, techniques and acronyms for quick and easy reference.
Bioinformatics, in this context the application of computer science to biological problems, has become an indispensable part of any research in the biosciences.
Antisense and ribozymes have a relatively short yet successful history as research tools in gene expression studies, and thus are considered as having high potential reagents in treating viral infections and cancer.
Targeted at beginners as well as experienced users, this handy reference explains the benefits and uses of flow cytometery in the study of plants and their genomes.
Nutritional genomics paves the way for novel applications in medicine and human nutrition, and this volume presents the latest data on how genetic variation is associated with dietary response and how nutrients influence gene expression.
This is the very first book to focus on this new approach that will eventually aid in developing new diagnostic markers and therapies for controlling and treating heart disease - the number-one killer in the industrialized world.
While the complete sequencing of the genomes of model organisms such as a multitude of bacteria and archaea, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, the fly Drosophila melanogaster, and the mouse and human genomes have received much public attention, the deciphering of plant genomeswas greatly lagging behind.
This hands-on guide to RNA interference brings the power of targeted gene silencing to any laboratory with the basic equipment for handling nucleic acids.
Waldinsekten sind ökologisch und ökonomisch von vielfältiger Bedeutung: Sie bestäuben Pflanzen, bauen tote pflanzliche und tierische Substanz ab, sind Nahrung für Wirbeltiere, regulieren Schadorganismen und gestalten ganze Lebensräume.
"Die Heuschrecken der Schweiz" ist ein Exkursionsführer und Nachschlagewerk, in dem erstmals alle Heuschreckenarten der Schweiz umfassend dargestellt werden.
Internationally acclaimed science writer Lone Frank swabs up her DNA to provide the first truly intimate account of the new science of consumer-led genomics.
