Informationen zum Autor Milo Keynes, A. W. F. Edwards, Robert Peel Klappentext A Century of Mendelism in Human Genetics focuses on the impact that Mendelism has had on the study of disease, including human cancer genetics, natural selection in human populations, and genetics in the future of medicine. The authors provide a historical perspective of the first fifty years of Mendelism, including the bitter argument between the Mendelians and the biometricians. They discuss human genetics since 1950, ending with a final chapter examining genetics and the future of medicine. The book considers the genetics of both single-gene and complex diseases, human cancer genetics, genetic linkage, and natural selection in human populations.
