The present book entitled A Text Book of “Molecular
Cytogenetics” aims to cover a wide
area of molecular biology and cytogenetic biology in a form especially suitable
for graduate (PG) students and undergraduate students (UG). We have
deliberately kept the book to a manageable size so that neither the cost and
content nor the weight is too overwhelming for the student. This book will
widely help to students, teachers, academicians to aid the knowledge about the
course and beyond the course related to the subject matter as given in the box.
Present book contains 11 chapters.
We begin by describing the history molecular
biology and cytogenetic biology. Further, we turn to the nucleic acid, types
and its structure. The chapter 2 describes replication of DNA and Enzymology of
replication, in chapter 3, transcription and modification and chapter 4
includes translation of protein. The next chapter 5 has DNA damage and repair
mechanisms. The cytogenetics describes in the chapter 6 and in chapter 7 the
sex determination and differentiation discussed. The chapter 8 has karyotyping
and chromosomal disorder, chapter 9 has human genome project and gene library
and chapter 10 has cancer biology, in which the role of proto-oncogenes and
oncogenes, its conversion, cancer treatment, drugs and therapy is discussed. Finally
the chapter 11 includes the molecular evolution.
Boxed material throughout the book is
divided into examples
to illustrate the topics covered in the main text, explanations of the medical relevance of
the material and in depth sections that extend the coverage beyond the content of
the main text.
