Genes have a huge impact on who we are, from defining us as humans, to governing how we behave.

The chemical study of insects has been growing for four decades, and with it an interest in how insects make their pheromones, hormones, defensive secretions, venoms, pigments and surface coverings.

From pathology to treatment, MicroRNAs in Diseases and Disorders highlights the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development and progression of a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurological disease, endocrine disease and autoimmune disease, and underscores the utilization of miRNA targets in the treatment of these conditions.

Optogenetic tools have allowed significant advances in the understanding of biological problems, particularly in the neurosciences field.

There have been remarkable advances towards discovering agents that exhibit selectivity and sequence-specificity for DNA, as well as understanding the interactions that underlie its propensity to bind molecules.

Gene expression in cells follows a prescribed pathway that conforms to the Central Dogma; where the genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into RNA and then expressed into proteins, which influences most plant traits.

This unique story offers an introductory conversation to genetics, embryology and evolution, taking us on a historical journey of biology through the ages.

This book is intended for non-specialists and students, presenting a unique introduction to the field of DNA nanotechnology.

Offering a summary of the current state of knowledge in autism research, Defining Autism looks at the different genetic, neurological and environmental causes of, and contributory factors to autism.

Bees existed long before human beings, but our future is perhaps more reliant upon them than any other species.
