How Genes Influence Behavior takes a personal and lively approach to the study of behavioral genetics, providing an up-to-date and accessible introduction to a variety of approaches and their application to a wide range of disorders, and modeling a critical approach to both methods and results. This second edition includes additional biology content to help students understand the biological foundations of the field, while maintaining an appropriate focus on the main issues of relevance to psychology students; updates coverage of genomic technologies and their applications; and covers a wider range of disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, and intellectual disability. A new final chapter guides students through a range of quantitative approaches using worked examples that relate directly to cases and examples used earlier in the text, and addresses current issues arising from debates around reproducibility

This book elucidates the role of microbial genomic islands (GEIs) in genome stability, plasticity, evolutionary adaptation, and pathogenicity in the bacterial population. The initial chapters of the book present tools, including bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, next-generation sequencing, and molecular biology techniques, for the analysis of the genomic islands. The book also discusses the importance of genomic islands in bacterial speciation, acquisition of genes related to resistome, nitrogen fixation, mobilomes, and nutritional fitness and adaptation. It provides recent advances in understanding microbial genomic islands' distribution, evolution, and mechanistic modes of behavior in pathogenic, non-pathogenic, and environmental species. This book is a valuable source for beginners in molecular microbiology, students, researchers, clinicians, stakeholders, and policymakers interested in understanding the role of GEIs in the adaptive evolution of microorganisms.

"Having trained in both the academic and clinical aspects of medicine in addition to the scientific aspects of genetics, the authors are aware of the significant gaps that exist in genetics teaching. This results in: a. Clinicians being devoid of a strong understanding of the fundamentals of genetics and its relevance and applicability to their day-to-day practice; b. Scientists lacking sound training in the clinical applicability of their work, resulting in a challenge in seeing use of genetics in the medical field. Current textbooks do not suitably fill this void, as they place too great an emphasis on either the medical or the scientific aspects of genetics; while a basic understanding of Southern blotting is of course of importance to both clinicians and academics, it has limited benefit when faced with a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the need to answer questions about the clinical management and implications for the patient and their family. Secondly, the truth is that most students and trainees find genetics a complex subject as it has historically been taught using uninspiring and dry texts. This does not need to be the case! Genetics is a fascinating and rapidly evolving field, with growing implications for clinicians in all specialities. With significant public and media interest in genetic screening ? for example through the recently highly publicised case of Angelia Jolie and BRCA screening, or through increasing numbers of firms offering ?genetic profiling? services directly to patients ? clinicians cannot afford to be ignorant to an often overlooked aspect of many of the conditions that they manage in their day-to-day practice. From the academic perspective, scientists need to be able to understand the clinical implications of their work, in order to have more effective conversations with those who translate their work into clinical practice. This requires a firm understanding of the presentation and management of the conditions that they investigate; yet there is no clear text that currently provides this knowledge. It is evident that there is a void, and to marry these two large aspects of genetics, we are proposing this book: a clear, systematic and clinically relevant text that seeks to make clinical genetics an approachable and applicable subject for both clinicians and scientists"--

Epigenetics in Biological Communication is the first book that integrates Development, Signaling, Context, Genetics and Evolution. Every cell, tissue, organ and organism is competent to use signals to exchange information reaching common coordinations and organisations of both single cell and group behavior. These signal-mediated interactions we term biological communication (biocommunication). The regulatory system that works in development, morphology, cell fate and identity, physiology, genetic instructions, immunity, memory/learning, physical and mental disease depends on epigenetic marks. The communication of cells, persistent viruses and their defectives such as mobile genetic elements and RNA networks ensures both the transport of regulatory instructions and the reprogramming of these instructions. But how are the different states of the epigenome orchestrated? With the emergence of epigenetic memory, organisms can fix historical and context- dependent impressive experiences. Evolution from now on learnt to learn. Learning means organisms can avoid reproduction of always the same. This is key to adaptation. However, inheritance of acquired characteristics is only one of the many examples of the explanatory power of epigenetics. Behavioral epigenetics demonstrates the way in which environmental and social experiences produce individual differences in behavior, cognition, personality, and mental health. This book assembles leading experts to outline the various motifs of epigenetic regulation of cellular life.
