It was at the end of the 19th century that a Swiss biologist, Karl Nageli first proposed the existence of hereditary organelles that carried information from parent to offspring. Ensuing decades experienced vigorous studies that led to the development of discovery that chromosomes are indeed the carriers of genetic information. Subsequent studies, especially by Morgan and Bridges, established unequivocally the chromosome theory of inheritance. Today, the structure of chromosome is well established. At the physical level, eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of a single, linear, double helix of...

Flow cytometry has rapidly evolved into a technique for rapid analysis of DNA content, cellular marker expression and electronic sorting of cells of interest for further investigations. Flow cytometers are being extensively used for monitoring of cellular DNA content, phenotype expression, drug transport, calcium flux, proliferation and apoptosis. Phenotypic analysis of marker expression in leukemic cells has become an important tool for diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring of patients. Recent studies have explored the use of flow cytometry for monitoring hormone receptor expression in human...

A comprehensive treatise on biotechnology, this volume starts with an overall review of early applications that scientists employed long before the field was defined. It then moves on to examine the emergence of current methods and specialized tools in the field, as well as cell culture and nucleic acid based technologies. It devotes individual chapters to biotechnology in the areas of health, agriculture, environment, aquaculture, and food. These are followed by chapters on the status of biotechnology in developing countries with special reference to India. It also discusses debated...
