Encyclopedia of Genetics
Author: Eric C.R. Reeve
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134263503
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 985
Book Description
The Encyclopedia includes 125 entries, beginning with the origins of genetics including historical background on the work of Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin, and progressing to the structure of DNA and modern theories such as selfish genes. All branches of genetics are covered, including the genetics of bacteria, viruses, insects, animals and plants, as well as humans. Important topical issues such as the human genome project, bioethics, the law and genetics, genetic disorders, GM crops, and the use of transgenic animals for food and pharmaceutical products are fully surveyed. A section on techniques and biotechnology includes modern methods of analysis, from DNA fingerprinting to the new science of bioinformatics. The articles, all written by specialists, are largely non-mathematical and progress from general concepts to deeper understanding. Each essay is fully referenced, with suggestions for further reading. The text is supplemented by extensive illustrations, tables and a color plate section. The Encyclopedia of Genetics will be a valuable companion for all those working or studying in the various fields of genetical research, and a fascinating reference for all readers with a basic background in biology. Also includes color inserts.

Government Response to the Report from the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee
Author: Great Britain. Department of Health
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780101528627
Category : Genetic disorders
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee published a report on 'Genetics and Insurance' in April which reviewed the use of genetic test results by insurers, their relevance and reliability and their wider consequences for research and patient care. Although the Government understands fears that testing could lead to new forms of discrimination, it also recognises the concerns of insurance companies that individuals might take out larger than usual insurance in the expectation of an early claim. Discussions have already taken place between the Government and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) which have resulted in a stronger moratorium. The Government recognises that the moratorium is unlikely to provide a permanent solution, but it will give time to consider implications of advance in genetic science and develop a policy that can work in the long term.
