Classical genetic research and its legacy

"With the rise of genomics, the life sciences have entered a new era. Maps of genomes have become the icons for a comprehensive knowledge of the organism on a previously unattained level of complexity. This book provides an in-depth history of mapping procedures as they were developed in classical genetics." "With its detailed analyses of scientific practices and its illustration of the diversity of mapping, this book is a significant contribution to the history of genetics."--Jacket.
