This open access book provides the first comprehensive coverage of the wheat genome sequence since the publication of the draft and reference sequences for bread wheat and durum wheat. It presents an overview and all aspects of the gold standard sequence of the bread wheat genome, IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 and its subsequent improvements through 2022 (IWGSC RefSeq v2.1), as well as the sequencing of mu…
How the regimes governing biological research changed during the genomics revolution, focusing on the Human Genome Project.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
This open access book covers a century of research on wheat genetics and evolution, starting with the discovery in 1918 of the accurate number of chromosomes in wheat. We re-evaluate classical studies that are pillars of the current knowledge considering recent genomic data in the wheat group comprising 31 species from the genera Amblyopyrum, Aegilops, Triticum, and other more distant relatives…
This open-access book provides a comprehensive overview of current methodologies for improving resistance to leaf rust in coffee, one of the world's most important cash crops and beverages. Coffea arabica L. (Arabica) accounts for about 60% of the world's coffee production. Coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix is the major disease affecting Arabica coffee resulting in…
Emerging biotechnologies that manipulate human genetic material have drawn a chorus of objections from politicians, pundits, and scholars. In Humanity Enhanced, Russell Blackford examines them in the context of liberal thought, discussing the public policy issues they raise from legal and political perspectives. Some see the possibility of genetic choice as challenging the values of liberal dem…
Konsep proteogenomik, memanfaatkan kemajuan dari bidang proteomik dan genomik, diperkenalkan sekitar waktu selesainya pengurutan genom manusia. Kemunculan proteogenomik terutama disebabkan oleh pesatnya perkembangan dua teknologi utama: pengurutan DNA dengan throughput tinggi dan proteomik berbasis spektrometri massa. Kemampuan untuk menentukan urutan protein dengan spektrometri massa telah men…
A comprehensive survey of a rapidly expanding field of combinatorial optimization, mathematically orientated but offering biological explanations when required, this volume offers the first comprehensive survey of a rapidly expanding application of combinatorial optimization.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"Beginning with the amazing tale of the Chinese "CRISPR Babies," Greely tells the complex story of human germline editing, covering the science, ethics, law, and politics"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"Bradford book."Functional genomics--the deconstruction of the genome to determine the biological function of genes and gene interactions--is one of the most fruitful new areas of biology. The growing use of DNA microarrays allows researchers to assess the expression of tens of thousands of genes at a time. This quantitative change has led to qualitative progress in our ability to understand re…
This book provides insights into the current state of sorghum genomics. It particularly focuses on the tools and strategies employed in genome sequencing and analysis, public and private genomic resources and how all this information is leading to direct outcomes for plant breeders. The advent of affordable whole genome sequencing in combination with existing cereal functional genomics data has…
