Abstract

By focusing on the chromosome in the quest to study and harness human heredity, Heredity under the Microscope offers a new history of postwar genetics. Today chromosomes are understood as macromolecular assemblies and analyzed with an array of molecular techniques. Yet throughout much of the twentieth century, researchers studied chromosomes by looking down the microscope at darkly stained bodies in the cell. In the 1950s, improved chromosome preparations offered a direct glimpse of the complete genome of an individual, opening up seemingly endless possibilities of observation and interventions. Much of the fascination with chromosomes and their persuasive power was based on the visual evidence the chromosome preparations provided, but critics countered that looking at pictures was not enough: we needed to understand the mechanisms. De Chadarevian argues that the often-bewildering variety of observations made by chromosome researchers were as central to the making of human heredity as the search for fundamental mechanisms pursued through the study of model organisms.

Abstract

This volume details the fundamentals of the CRISPR-Cas system, and its protocols illustrate advances in CRISPR-Cas techniques for efficient genome editing. Introductory chapters provide a wide horizon of CRISPR/Cas-based methods and applications. Additional chapters guide readers through HDR-mediated editing, sgRNA design, the step-by-step procedure of multiplex adenine base editing experiments in rice, generating mutants for rice, wheat, Brachypodium, Barley, Flax, and Phytophthora, visual screening of mutants, gene deletion (knock-out), tagging (knock-in) in mammalian cells, the cloning-free (DNA-free) technique, cell-penetrating peptides, generating a genome-edited banana, and nuclear genome editing of Chlamydomonas employing CRISPR-Cpf1 combined with a single-stranded DNA (ssODN) repair template. Authoritative and cutting-edge, CRISPR-Cas Methods aims to assist researchers who are new to the field and are aiming to learn how best to adopt this technology for a particular organism.

Abstract

This fifth edition volume expands on the previous editions with updated discussions on the many new in situ hybridization (ISH) techniques used by researchers today. New developments in probe designs, detection systems, specificity and sensitivity improvements, and multiplexing combinations are explored. Chapters in this book are organized into seven sections and cover general applications; methods for DNA ISH; methods for cultured cells; methods for wholemount and plant material; automated methods for RNA; multiplexing and combined methods; and targeted selective methods and single molecule detections. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and thorough, In Situ Hybridization Protocols, Fifth Edition is a valuable resource for both novice and expert scientists interested in learning more about this exciting and advancing field. .

Abstract

This volume explores the uses of RNAi and CRISPR interferences as a general method for inhibiting gene expression, with focus on their biological functions, design, chemical modifications, delivery, and preclinical/clinical applications. In addition to relevant backgrounds, the chapters in this book discuss simple and accurate protocols dealing with the latest advances in RNAi and CRISPR applications and look at how these methods differ from one another. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, RNA Interference and CRISPR Technologies: Technical Advances and New Therapeutic Opportunities is a valuable resource for any scientist, teachers, graduate student, postdoc, and clinician interested in this field. This book also benefits anyone in research and development in biotech and pharmaceutical companies who want to understand more about these technologies, and their applications in biology and medicine. .

Abstract

The advent of the CRISPR/Cas9 class of genome editing tools is transforming not just science and medicine, but also law. When the genome of germline cells is modified, the modifications could be inherited, with far-reaching effects in time and scale. Legal systems are struggling with keeping up with the CRISPR revolution and both lawyers and scientists are often confused about existing regulations. This book contains an analysis of the national regulatory framework in eighteen selected countries. Written by national legal experts, it includes all major players in bioengineering, plus an analysis of the emerging international standards and a discussion of how international human rights standards should inform national and international regulatory frameworks. The authors propose a set of principles for the regulation of germline engineering, based on international human rights law, that can be the foundation for regulating heritable gene editing both at the level of countries as well as globally.

Abstract

"The science of molecular genetics began with the determination of the structure of DNA. Experiments with bacteria and phages (i.e., viruses that infect bacteria) in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as well as the presence of DNA in chromosomes of higher organisms, had implicated this macromolecule as the hereditary material (see the introduction). In the 1930s, biochemical studies of the base composition of DNA by Erwin Chargaff established that the amount of guanine always equals the amount of cytosine and that the amount of adenine always equals the amount of thymine, independent of the total base composition of the DNA. In the early 1950s, X-ray diffraction studies by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins showed that DNA is a double helix. Finally, in 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson put together the chemical and X-ray diffraction information in their famous model of the structure of DNA. This story is one of the most dramatic in the history of science and has been the subject of many historical treatments, some of which are listed at the end of this chapter"--
