Success in Recombinant DNA technology has been possible due to rapid development in gene cloning methodologies. It is essentially the insertion of a specific fragment of foreign DNA into a cell, through a suitable vector, in such a way that inserted DNA replicates independently and transferred to progenies as a result of cell division. The transformed cells containing DNA after their characterization and confirmation can be used commercially for the production of useful compounds such as insulin, interferon, growth hormones, etc. The book is divided into 21 confirm chapters. The language of book is simple, easily understandable and subject matter is fully illustrated. The contents include:
• Structure and Function of Genes
• DNA : The Genetic Material
• The Genetic Code
• Structure of Genome
• Transposable Elements
• Mutations in DNA
• Recombinant DNA Used in Evolution
• Use of Genetic Engineering in Plants
• Use of Genetic Engineering in Animals
• Regulation of Cell Cycle
• Regulation of Development in Drosophila
• Protoonocogenes, Oncogenes and Antioncogenes
• Use of Recombinant DNA in Pharmaceutical Industry
• Human Genome
• Human Gene Therapy
• Polymerase Chain Reaction
• Genes Pertaining to Physiology of Brain
• Isolation and Synthesis of Cloned Genes
• Signal Perception and Transduction
• Animal Cloning and Human Gene Mapping
