Ta m i l n a d u . H i s r e s e a r c h

publication includes 52 full length

research papers in international

and national journals of repute, 2

course books, 4 research books

and one book chapter in springer

verlag. He had reviewed more than

50 research manuscript for many

international journals. He is

(Washington). He has supervised

23 research scholars (UG and PG).

The present book covers wide area of molecular biology and cytogenetic biology in a

form especially suitable for graduate (PG) students and undergraduate students

(UG). This book will widely help to students, teachers, academicians to aid the

knowledge about the course and beyond the course related to the subject matter as

given in the box. In this book, we begin by describing the history of molecular

biology and cytogenetic biology. Further, we turn to the nucleic acid, types and its

structure, replication, transcription, translation, DNA damage and repair

mechanisms. The cytogenetics describes in the chapter 6 followed by sex

determination, karyotyping , chromosomal disorder, human genome project and

gene library. The chapter 10 has cancer biology, in which the role of proto-oncogenes

and oncogenes, its conversion, cancer treatment, drugs and therapy is discussed.

Finally, the chapter 11 includes the molecular evolution. Boxed material throughout

the book is provided to illustrate the topics covered in the main text, explanations of

the medical relevance and in depth sections that extend the coverage beyond the

content of the main text.
