Sexing the Parrot: Changing the World with DNA
(A discussion of the practical applications of DNA knowled...)
A discussion of the practical applications of DNA knowledge, from the spectacular use in criminal evidence to the more mundane but vital use in all manner of medical and other biological applications. It includes controversial aspects of control and access to individual DNA information.

Genetics & DNA Technology: Legal Aspects
(This book is the first which aims to give lawyers a compl...)
This book is the first which aims to give lawyers a complete account of the issues involved in taking DNA evidence into court. It guides the reader through the process of generating results from all types of trace samples. The book raises fascinating questions such as; once DNA results have been produced how are they interpreted? Why is a database sometimes required, but not always? How close to an ethnic group does a database need to be before it can be regarded as reliable? Such questions as these allows the reader to work through DNA evidence in all types of case, it is not just crimes against the person where it can be used, but anywhere where contact has taken place and cells left behind. This book helps lawyers to ask the most important and probative questions when faced with such evidence in court.

Chromosomes: The Complex Code

to the expression of oncogenes, which are pivotal in cancer genetics. Accurate delineation and prognosis of a cancer may depend upon careful cytogenetic analysis. Cytogenetics is still of great importance when monitoring changes in somatic cell hybrids. The role of chromosome genetics within modern biology is continually changing and evolving, and thus a knowledge of cytogenetics is of ever-increasing value. Chromatin structure 1 and replication Summary It is now a well-known fact that DNA is the hereditary material and that the vast majority of the DNA of an organism is housed in organelles called chromo somes. However, the length of DNA contained in a cell is far greater than the size of the cell within which it exists; for example, the shortest human chromosome consists of 1. 4 cm of DNA which must be compacted into a cell only a few micrometres across. To achieve this, DNA has to undergo several levels of packing, a process that is a mixture of DNA-DNA and DNA protein interactions. The most compact form of DNA can be seen under the light microscope as a meta phase chromosome during mitotic cell division. DNA must also be faithfully replicated to ensure accurate cell function and maintenance of the organ ism as well as ultimately, the reproduction of the species. Our current knowledge of these complex processes is very limited, with huge gaps, in particular, concern ing the links between the molecular and organelle level of organization.
