Why are your eyes a different colour from those of your parents? Why do families vary in height? How can diseases be traced through many generations? What is DNA and why did its discovery rock the scientific world? Terms such as "genetic fingerprinting" and "genetic engineering" are frequently used. But a clear explanation of the language of genetics and of the implications behind the advances in its understanding is often difficult to find. The introduction to "Essential Genetics" explodes many of the popular myths that surround this subject. It is followed by a detailed and easy-to-use A-Z section that defines terms, describes how they are applied and makes helpful suggestions for further reading and research. The historical growth of the discipline is charted and contemporary advances explained. Hundreds of cross-references help student and interested amateur alike to explore the complex world of genetics.

Les succès comme les excès de la biologie moléculaire se sont en partie construits sur la métaphore informatique du "programme" génétique. Henri Atlan s'interroge sur les implications de cette métaphore pour l'orientation des recherches et des interprétations scientifiques, mais aussi pour l'information destinée aux non-spécialistes, citoyens et décideurs. Des découvertes récentes concernant les prions, le clonage ou la biologie du développement viennent ébranler le modèle, relancer le débat sur les effets épigénétiques et soulignent les limites de ce nouveau réductionnisme. Les théories de la complexité et de l'auto-organisation du vivant, dont Henri Atlan fut l'un des pionniers, éclairent ces questions et permettent de les situer dans la perspective plus globale de l'évolution de la biologie moderne.

Developments in genetic science are opening up possibilities for human beings; both the creation and the shaping of human life are now possible in the laboratory. As these techniques develop, questions are increasingly asked about how far everything that is scientifically possible should - morally, legally and socially - be pursued. Whilst much attention and policy-making has focused on the development of regulation of technologies affecting human reproduction, regulation where plants and animals are concerned is much more limited. In this book, developments in genetics are addressed in the broad sense by an international range of contributors. This includes not only issues such as eugenics and the modification of the human embryo, but also the genetic modification of plants and animals in the pursuit of commerce, agriculture and biomedical research. This title discusses developments in genetics in the broad sense. This includes not only issues such as eugenics and the modification of the human embryo, but also the genetic modification of plants and animals in the pursuit of commerce, agriculture and biomedical research.
