This lecture note discusses the principles
of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of
molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. Topics covered
includes: structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological
variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection, population
genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation
and inherited disease.

Leona Samson and Dr. Michelle Mischke
This note covers the following topics: Cells and DNA, How
Genes Work, Variants and Health, Inheriting Genetic Conditions, Genetics and
Human Traits, Genetic Testing, Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing.

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 lecture note covers the following
topics: Mendelian inheritance, Mendelian genetics, Meiosis and the Chromosome
theory, Gene mapping, Mutations and mutagenesis, Cytogenetics, Gene regulation,
Genetic interaction, Population genetics, Genetic diseases, Developmental
genetics.
This book, Human
Genetic Diseases contains many diverse chapters, dealing with human genetic
diseases, methods to diagnose them, novel approaches to treat them and molecular
approaches and concepts to understand them. Although this book does not give a
comprehensive overview of human genetic diseases, and the sixteen book chapters
will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in different life and
medical sciences.
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.
This book contains important findings about the physiology
and genetics of Helicobacter pylori are summarized in this volume, it also
includes sections on epidemiology, bacteriology, bacterial virulence and
pathogenic mechanisms, pathogenesis in the host, diagnosis and treatment, animal
models, and other Helicobacter species.

The textbook Genomes, by Terence A.
Brown, is available online and provides insight into genomics with the
traditional approach to gene expression. The integrated approach of this book
provides a teaching resource for modern molecular biology.
From the National Center for Biotechnology Information,
Genes and Disease is an online 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.
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.
