About the Book

Textbook of Genetics

Genetics is one of the most important branch of Biology which is taught and researched widely and has a special place in academic studies. The complex world of genomes holds the full attention of the scientific researchers as experiments and advances in human genetics touch every aspect of human life. From genetic interventions in promotion of health and prevention of disease of complete manipulation of human characteristics all these vital areas are the subjects of the present studies in human genetics. The present publication puts together all these crucial insights for the benefits of the students and researchers. The book, written with the view to meet the requirements of the Indian students, discusses different genetic phenomena with reference to Indian flora, fauna and human populations. It would, the author hopes, not only facilitate learning through environment, culminating in concrete perceptions of facts, not mere imaginations, but also cultivate an involvement and develop an intimate rapport with the subject matter.
