About this book

Chromosome Biology is a synthesis of modern viewpoints on chromosome structure, function, and behavior. The coverage is wide-ranging, from bacterial protosomes to wheat and human chromosomes, from centromeres to telomeres, from translocations to transformations. Chromosome Biology investigates the fascinating behavior of chromosomes at mitosis and meiosis, and the structural and numerical chromosomal changes caused by genome manipulation and genetic engineering. Chromosome Biology is suitable for use by under-graduate and post-graduate students of plant and animal sciences, genetics, molecular biology, plant breeding, and related fields. Students, teachers and researchers alike will benefit from this comprehensive textbook.
