Sinossi

This text presents a concise account of modern cytogenetics. Basic facts are presented together with illustrative examples from plant, animal and medical cytogenetics. Selected references guide the reader to recent literature. The book emphasizes the revitalization of cytogenetics resulting from research into the human genome and the subject's integration with molecular biology. Classic cytogenetics is also discussed to give context to more recent studies. This book should be of interest to geneticists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, and students on undergraduate courses in a range of disciplines, medical and life science courses.
