The word genetics, coined by William Bateson, is derived
from the Latin word genesis, which means birth. Genetics is the study of
heredity and variation. Heredity refers to the transmission of genetic
information, more precisely genes, from parents to offspring. This PDF

This note covers the
following topics: quantitative versus qualitative genetics, Hardy-Weinberg law
for gene frequency stability in large populations, Relationship and inbreeding,
Estimation of breeding values, Inbreeding, crossing and bred structure,
Chromosomes and chromosome aberrations, Genetics on hair and coat colour in
mammals, Estimating- and biotechnology and disease resistance.
The objective of this note is have a
greater awareness and appreciation of classical and molecular genetics with
emphasis on genetic material and its formation, transmission, function and
organization. Topics covered includes: historical perspective of genetics,
inheritance patterns and the chromosomal basis of heredity, sex chromosomes in
sex determination and sexual dimorphism, cells reproduce through DNA and nucleic
acids, DNA transcribes into RNA that ultimately translates into protein,
prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes, genetic basis of cancer and how it relates to
the cell cycle.
This lecture note
covers the following topics: The genetic structure of populations, Genetic
transmission in populations, The genetics of natural selection, Genetic drift,
Quantitative genetics, Molecular evolution, Phylogeography.
This book explains
the following topics: Mendelian analysis, The chromosomal theory of inheritance,
The chromosomal theory of inheritance, Brown Symposium, Chromosome Mutation,
Structure of DNA, Recombinant DNA techniques, Applications of recombinant DNA
techniques, Population genetics and Quantitative genetics.
Advanced Genetics provides an overview of
basic concepts and techniques in genetics and their use in answering fundamental
questions in biology. The lectures focus primarily on studies carried out in
yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila, mouse, and humans to illustrate the power of
genetics as an experimental tool.

The first Section
of this book provides readers with background and several methodologies for
understanding genetic disorders. Genetic defects, diagnoses and treatments of
the respective unifactorial and multifactorial genetic disorders are reviewed in
the second and third Sections.
This book aims to provide an overview on
some of the latest developments in several genetic diseases. It contains 14
chapters focused on various genetic disorders addressing epidemiology, etiology,
molecular basis and novel treatment options for these diseases.
Genes and Disease is a collection of
articles that discuss genes and the diseases that they cause. These genetic
disorders are organized by the parts of the body that they affect. As some
diseases affect various body systems, they appear in more than one chapter.
