Genetic engineering has emerged as a prominent and interesting area of life sciences. Although much has been penned to satiate the knowledge of scientists, researchers, faculty members, students, and general readers, none of this compilation covers the theme in totality. Even if it caters to the in-depth knowledge of a few, the subject still has much scope regarding the presentation of the content and creating a drive towards passionate learning and indulgence. This compilation presenting certain topics pertaining to genetic engineering is not only lucid but interesting, thought provoking, and knowledge seeking. The book opens with a chapter on genetic engineering, which tries to unfold manipulation techniques, generating curiosity about the different modus operandi of the technique per se. The gene, molecular machines, vector delivery systems, and their applications are all sewn in an organized pattern to give a glimpse of the importance of this technique and its vast functions. The revolutionary technique of amplifying virtually any sequence of genetic material is presented vividly to gauge the technique and its various versions with respect to its myriad applications. A chapter on genome engineering and xenotransplantation is covered for those who have a penchant for such areas of genetic engineering and human physiology. The fruits of genetic engineering, the much-talked-about therapeutic proteins, have done wonders in treating human maladies. A chapter is included that dwells on the prospects of therapeutic proteins and peptides. Lastly, a chapter on emerging technologies for agriculture using a polymeric nanocomposite-based agriculture delivery system is included to create a subtle diversity. This compilation addresses certain prominent titles of genetic engineering, which is simply the tip of the iceberg and will be helpful in crafting the wisdom of nascent as well as established scientists, research scholars, and all those blessed with logical minds. I hope.

The considerable commercial importance has stimulated a plethora of research projects studying the genomics, molecular biology and metabolic engineering of these bacteria and prompted the need for this concise book which provides a timely overview of the field. Topics covered include: the genomic perspective on niche adaptability; catabolic pathways of complex carbohydrates metabolism; the production of lactate; genetics, biology of the cell envelope and applications of the S-layer proteins; lactobacilli bacteriophage; DNA transfer into Lactobacillus species; recombinant gene expression and genomics of antibiotic resistance in Lactobacillus. This book is an invaluable source of information and essential reading for everyone working with lactobacilli, lactic acid bacteria and probiotics, from the PhD student to the experienced scientist, in academia, the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries and those working in clinical environments.

Das Wort "Gen" wurde 1909 geprägt. Im Rahmen des hierauf aufbauenden Forschungszweigs der Genetik wurden in den letzten 100 Jahren zahlreiche Kenntnisse über Struktur und Funktion von Desoxyribonukleinsäure (DNA) gewonnen. Insbesondere rückte durch die Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Genoms innerhalb des Humangenomprojektes und durch hiermit in Zusammenhang stehende Begleit- und Folgeprojekte in den vergangenen Jahren verstärkt die Bedeutung genetischer Faktoren für individuelle Charakteristika des Menschen und bei der Entstehung von Krankheiten ins Bewusstsein. Über diese medizinisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Bereiche hinausgehend besitzt heute die in einem recht allgemeinen Sinne verstandene "genetische Information" zudem vielfältige Auswirkungen auf unser Selbstverständnis und Zusammenleben. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Sammelbandes wird der Frage nach der Bedeutung genetischer Information sowohl in biologisch-medizinischer Hinsicht als auch für die betreffenden Personen und ihre komplexen Lebenszusammenhänge nachgegangen. Namhafte Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Medizin, Biologie, Ethik, Philosophie, Rechtswissenschaften und anderer Fachgebiete thematisieren hierbei grundlegende Fragen des Status genetischer Information und der Bedeutung genetischer Faktoren im Vergleich zu nicht-genetischen Faktoren sowie Überlegungen über die individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Implikationen des Umgangs mit genetischer Information. What is meant by genetic information? How can knowledge about the genetic information of a person be responsibly handled?An interdisciplinary symposium at Tübingen University tackled this whole complex of issues. There are contributions on the various aspects from specialists in biology, medicine, ethics and law.
