One hundred years of chromosome research and what remains to be learned

by A Lima-de-Faria

"One Hundred Years of Chromosome Research and What Remains to Be Learned offers the reader a critical analysis of the observations and experiments that shaped the last 100 years of chromosome research, as well as the ideas which prevailed during this period. Emphasis is placed on what remains to be learned, particularly in light of reality of the sequencing of DNA which leaves the previous era of chromosome research as a prehistoric event. It is at this turning point, that well formulated questions can be asked about many of the chromosome's properties, which remain to be unveiled."--Jacket.
