Genetics, much like other scientific fields, is a product of human effort. Therefore, the personal lives of geneticists, including their relationships, colleagues, and affiliations, have significantly impacted the evolution of this discipline. This publication provides an overview of the history of genetics by examining the lives of key researchers, starting from the early stages of genetic studies (such as inheritance and mutation) and culminating in the groundbreaking Human Genome Project – a landmark achievement in 20th-century genetics research.
Key features:
– Summarizes the contributions of notable genetics researchers
– Traces the development of fundamental genetic concepts
– Emphasizes the role of new technologies and methodologies in advancing genetic research
– Explores the impact of genetics on various biomedical fields
– Avoids a simplistic chronological account of genetic history.
