Explores the exciting discoveries in genetics and molecular biology. This volume takes the reader on a journey to explore the frontiers of genetic diversity, gene cloning, the human journey, and the human genome project. The book is targeted at undergraduate non-majors and also as a "companion" to a standard genetics textbook for biology majors.

Scientists now have a basic blueprint or roadmap of how a single damaged cell can develop into a pre-malignant lesion, a primary tumour, and finally, a lethal tumour that may spread throughout the body and resist both medical therapy and host immune responses. This book provides an overview of our current understanding of this cancer blueprint.

Takes the reader on an incredible journey to explore the exciting discoveries in genetics and molecular biology. The reader will embark on a genetic odyssey starting with the "Father of Genetics", Gregor Mendel, leading on to the story of photo 51 and the discovery of the structure of the DNA double helix, and culminating with the invention of the polymerase chain reaction.
