In my first book (Your Easy Way To Chromosomes), the main topic was about the human chromosomes, their structures, abnormalities, syndromes, and chromosome analysis. In this book I focused on abnormal karyotypes and how chromosomal abnormalities happen. A karyotype is a picture of a person's chromosomes from body cells (blood, hair, or any other tissue), photographing them through a microscope and arranging them in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere for chromosomes of the same size. Karyotype test (alternative names are Chromosome Analysis, Chromosomal Analysis) plays a role in: diagnosis genetic diseases which are related to chromosomal abnormalities, diagnosis some birth defects, and provides clinical utility in the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic malignancies. On the other hand some genetic abnormalities cannot be detected by karyotype analysis such as microdeletions. Karyotype helps clinical cytogeneticist to identify abnormalities by: Counting the number of chromosomes and looking for extra chromosome such as in trisomy 21 or missing chromosome in a karyotype such as in Turner syndrome. Looking for changes in chromosome structure such as chromosomal deletions, duplications, translocations, insertions, inversions and other chromosomal abnormalities. Writing a book related to your field shows your passion and commitment to your job. Sana Nimer [email protected] [email protected]

By focusing on chromosomes, Heredity under the Microscope offers a new history of postwar human genetics. Today chromosomes are understood as macromolecular assemblies and are analyzed with a variety of molecular techniques. Yet for much of the twentieth century, researchers studied chromosomes by looking through a microscope. Unlike any other technique, chromosome analysis offered a direct glimpse of the complete human genome, opening up seemingly endless possibilities for observation and intervention. Critics, however, countered that visual evidence was not enough and pointed to the need to understand the molecular mechanisms. Telling this history in full for the first time, Soraya de Chadarevian argues that the often bewildering variety of observations made under the microscope were central to the study of human genetics. Making space for microscope-based practices alongside molecular approaches, de Chadarevian analyzes the close connections between genetics and an array of scientific, medical, ethical, legal, and policy concerns in the atomic age. By exploring the visual evidence provided by chromosome research in the context of postwar biology and medicine, Heredity under the Microscope sheds new light on the cultural history of the human genome.

This volume provides essential and fundamental protocols on manipulation chromosome. Chapters details methods on the preparation of mitotic chromosome, chromosome aberration, micronucleus (MN), comet assay, karyotyping, Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), premature chromosome condensation (PCC), immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, new generation sequencing technology and new chromosome concepts, such as epigenetic and its cause of cancer are presented. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Chromosome Analysis: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.

Our understanding of the function and structure of chromosomes and their interrelationship has grown in recent years. The chapters in this issue describe the advances that have been made possible by combining microscope techniques with sophisticated biochemical and genetic approaches to unlock the secrets of chromosomes. The authors look at many aspects of chromosome biology, such as protein, DNA and RNA composition of chromosomes, defined chromosome structures, unusual chromosome structures and specialized chromosomes and microscope tools for chromosome analysis. 'Chromosome Structure and Function' will be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields such as plant and animal sciences, genetics, and molecular biology. In fact, any student, teacher or researcher interested in chromosome biology will find this special issue indispensable.

This book is a broadly historical account of a remarkable and very exciting scientific story–the search for the number of human chromosomes. It covers the processes and people, culminating in the realization that discovering the number of human chromosomes brought as much benefit as unraveling the genetic code itself. With the exception of red blood cells, which have no nucleus and therefore no DNA, and sex cells, humans have 46 chromosomes in every single cell. Not only do chromosomes carry all of the genes that code our inheritance, they also carry them in a specific order. It is essential that the number and structure of chromosomes remains intact, in order to pass on the correct amount of DNA to succeeding generations and for the cells to survive. Knowing the number of human chromosomes has provided a vital diagnostic tool in the prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders, and the search for this number and developing an understanding of what it means are the focus of this book.

It is hard to avoid hearing about genetic testing. It is advertised, discussed, debated, and offered to patients. Some are over the counter, such as paternity testing, testing for risk for diabetes and others. Others are offered by private companies and still others by drug companies, These tests may or may not show a distinct answer, so it important for patients to understand these results. Early in 1920s a Eugenics movement began in the United States, courts decided which person had undesirable traits and would be sterilized so they could not pass these traits to their children. The idea here was to create a population with better genes (therefore healthier and richer). Families who were chosen received awards and people began to see the importance of genetics. But little did they know how it would EXPLODE! This book will look at genetic testing as it applies today and how the serious decisions that it demands, cannot be ignored.

A clear and straightforward explanation of genetics in this new edition of the popular 101 series. Our genetic makeup determines so much about who we are, and what we pass on to our children—from eye color, to height, to health, and even our longevity. Genetics 101 breaks down the science of how genes are inherited and passed from parents to offspring, what DNA is and how it works, how your DNA affects your health, and how you can use your personal genomics to find out more about who you are and where you come from. Whether you’re looking for a better scientific understanding of genetics, or looking into your own DNA, Genetics 101 is your go-to source to discover more about both yourself and your ancestry.
