Synopsis
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.

Review
...an excellent introduction to cytogenetics covering chromosome structure and function, cell division, evolution, mutation, sex chromosome systems, and the artificial manipulation of genomes, with the emphasis on eukaryotes. - Aslib Book Guide; ...clear written style...accessible for the student audience...recommended as a reference... - The Biologist
Synopsis
Detailing all aspects of chromosome biology, this book illustrates the importance of cytogenetics in the fast changing world of modern biology. Chromosomes are often overlooked in molecular studies, but increasingly it is being shown that they play a fundamental role in gene expression. Molecular biology and cytogenetics, once regarded as separate areas of study, are now realized to be interdependent subjects.

Accurate delineation and prognosis of a cancer may depend upon careful cytogenetic analysis. Cytogenetics is still of great importance when monitoring changes in somatic cell hybrids. The role of chromosome genetics within modern biology is continually changing and evolving, and thus a knowledge of cytogenetics is of ever-increasing value. Chromatin structure 1 and replication Summary It is now a well-known fact that DNA is the hereditary material and that the vast majority of the DNA of an organism is housed in organelles called chromo somes. However, the length of DNA contained in a cell is far greater than the size of the cell within which it exists; for example, the shortest human chromosome consists of 1. 4 cm of DNA which must be compacted into a cell only a few micrometres across. To achieve this, DNA has to undergo several levels of packing, a process that is a mixture of DNA-DNA and DNA protein interactions. The most compact form of DNA can be seen under the light microscope as a meta phase chromosome during mitotic cell division. DNA must also be faithfully replicated to ensure accurate cell function and maintenance of the organ ism as well as ultimately, the reproduction of the species. Our current knowledge of these complex processes is very limited, with huge gaps, in particular, concern ing the links between the molecular and organelle level of organization. 356 pp. Englisch.
