by: Nicholas Wright Gillham publisher: FT Press, published: 2011-06-19 ASIN: 0137075448 EAN: 9780137075447 sales rank: 703822 This very readable overview of the rise and transformations of medical genetics and of the eugenic impulses that have been inspired by the emerging understanding of the genetic basis of many diseases and disabilities is based on a popular nonmajors course, "Social Implications of Genetics," that Gillham gave for many years at Duke University. The book is suitable for use as a text in similar overview courses about genes and social issues or genes and disease. It gives a good overview of the developments and status of this field for a wide range of biomedical researchers, physicians, and students, especially those interested in the prospects for the new, genetics-based personalized medicine. |

by: Kurt Weising publisher: CRC Press, published: 2005-02-28 ASIN: 0849314887 EAN: 9780849314889 sales rank: 1616844 Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade, newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow guide to the multitude of techniques available in DNA Fingerprinting in Plants: Principles, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition. Along with step-by-step annotated protocols, the authors fully discuss the technical aspects and modifications of existing techniques, the influence of reaction components and conditions, and the analysis of the results. This second edition has been completely revised to address the exponential changes in the field since the first edition, focusing on PCR-based techniques but also including more sophisticated ones. The authors include numerous case studies to illustrate applications of the methods, more than 1600 references to the literature, and descriptions of reagent formulation, equipment, and computer programs used for evaluating molecular marker data. They compare the various methods, including the costs and benefits of each, helping readers determine which is best suited to a particular application. The well-rounded, cross-referenced, and unified nature of this book makes it intrinsically easier to follow than the edited, multi-authored books currently available. It is an absolute necessity on the lab bench of anyone involved in plant research, DNA profiling, and molecular markers. |

by: Anne Brewer publisher: iUniverse, published: 2009-05-26 ASIN: 1440131384 EAN: 9781440131387 sales rank: 545864 Anne Brewer, a corporate marketing consultant, was stunned when she began receiving telepathic messages from a group of friendly non-physical beings sent to help raise the consciousness of Earth. According to these beings, in eons past, humans were created with only two active strands of DNA which limited our evolutionary potential and inhibited the ability to ascend or function as Spirit in physical form. They taught her a process called 12-Strand DNA Recoding that she has shared with thousands in her book, The Power of Twelve, A New Approach to Empowerment Through 12-Strand DNA Consciousness.Anne's remarkable true story of her DNA Recoding is of great assistance to all of us who desire to achieve our full potential. Her transformative process includes powerful channeled instruction and holistic balancing modalities to quicken manifestations and clear the path to love. The power of the 12-strand DNA energy is illustrated through Anne's examples of how she obtained greater heath, wealth, and happiness in her own life. This power will increase your energy vibration which enables you to operate at a greater potential, increase your psychic abilities, release debilitating emotions of fear and guilt, quicken your skills for manifesting, and enable you ultimately to ascend from the Earth realm to the next phase of your soul growth. |
