Description
After presenting a brief historical review, this introduction to recombinant DNA technology deals with the essentials of the technology and the light it has shed on the molecular basis of various genetic disorders, as well as common diseases such as diabetes, coronary artery disease and cancer. The applications of the technology in prenatal diagnosis, the synthesis of vaccines and other medically important products, and treatments through gene therapy are also reviewed. Some broader applications with respect to human evolution, and various agricultural, commercial and industrial uses are also discussed. The final chapters of the book examine the biohazards, ethical and legal problems raised by the technology and discuss posssible future developments.
