Désormais, c’est grâce à des analyses chimiques et à des instruments mathématiques, tout autant qu’aux fouilles archéologiques, que nous pouvons déterminer ce qui s’est produit dans l’histoire de l’humanité il y a des centaines de milliers d’années.
Identification de l’ADN, développement du génie génétique, isolement des gènes responsables de maladies graves, décodage du génome humain : la génétique a ouvert d’immenses espoirs pour notre santé.
Dès son apparition et au fil du temps, l’homme a été capable de s’adapter, au point de pouvoir régner sans conteste sur la planète grâce à la domination qu’il a exercée sur les autres espèces, puis sur la nature et, pour finir, sur lui-même.
L'essentiel des contributions au colloque international organisé à Paris en 1989 sur les développements les plus récents des manipulations génétiques, du projet de séquençage du génome humain et des biotechnologies.
Les progrès fulgurants de la paléogénétique – l’analyse de l’ADN contenu dans les ossements anciens – permettent de reconstituer les flux migratoires qui ont façonné l’Europe au cours du temps.
The scientific and technical development of any kind of germplasm is regulated by a vast network of treaties, conventions, international agreements, and national and regional legislation.
Extrait : "On ne doit s'attendre à trouver dans les plus riches collections ornithologiques et entomologiques, à plus forte raison dans les quelques pages qui vont suivre, qu'un faible aperçu du monde de l'air : monde infini comme celui de la mer, et qui, pour arriver à l'insecte et à l'oiseau, commence par des milliards de milliards de corpuscules invisibles, poussière impalpable qui se mêle aux molécules gazeuses.
This book describes the current understanding of symptoms, diagnosis, mode of transmission, and treatments of four important intestinal diseases, taking into consideration the molecular interactions between host cells and infectious agents.
This book describes how obesity results from an imbalance between the intake of food energy and the expenditure of energy from physical activity and increases the risk of serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, and several types of cancer.
This book presents muscular dystrophy (MD) as a group of genetic diseases with a worldwide occurrence of about 1 in 3,500 births that causes muscle wasting and weakening.
This book presents chromosome-wise clinical cases following an evidence-based protocol, in addition to providing the scientific background on the mechanisms of human ring chromosome (RC) formation.

A concise, clear writing style and a detailed and rich coverage of topics are the reasons that students found the first edition of the book so engaging and useful.
This important book uses selected molecules expressed on erythrocytes, lymphocytes, platelets and granulocytes to illustrate how genetic polymorphisms and variations in these molecules can affect their structure and function in mature human blood cells.
Plant breeding, animal breeding, medical genetics and the genetics of industrial fungi are usually taught separately, but they are all linked by strong central concepts regarding the generation, control, fate and use of genetic variation at the levels of genes, chromosomes, genomes and populations.
The Human Genome Project has spawned a Renaissance of research faced with the daunting expectation of personalized medicine for individuals with sickle cell disease in the Genome Era.
High-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have given us the human genome sequence as well as those of other experimentally, medically, and agriculturally important species, thus enabling large-scale genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations.

This volume contains 18 peer-reviewed papers based on the presentations at the 10th Annual International Workshop on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (IBSB 2010) held at Kyoto University from July 26 to July 28, 2010.
MicroRNAs have recently emerged as key regulators of gene expression during development and are frequently misexpressed in human disease states, in particular cancer.
