Understand and apply what drives change of characteristic genetic traits and heredity
Genetics is the study of how traits are passed from parents to their offspring and how the variation in those traits affects the development and health of the organism. Investigating how these traits affect the organism involves a diverse set of approaches and tools, including genetic screens, DNA and RNA sequencing, mapping, and methods to understand the structure and function of proteins. Thus, there is a need for a textbook that provides a broad overview of these methods.
Genetic Theory and Analysis meets this need by describing key approaches and methods in genetic analysis through a historical lens. Focusing on the five basic principles underlying the field-mutation, complementation, recombination, segregation, and regulation-it identifies the full suite of tests and methodologies available to the geneticist in an age of flourishing genetic and genomic research.
