This publication provides readers with an introduction to applied genetics and molecular genetics. The subject areas of classical genetics, conservation genetics, ecological genetics, immunogenetics, quantitative genetics, genomics, medical genetics, population genetics, dual inheritance, genetic algebra and behavioural genetics are covered. Enough emphasis is laid on genetic diversity, genetic erosion, genetic hitchhiking, genetic monitoring, DNA sequencing, genetic engineering and genetic pollution. Focus also lies on developmental biology, evolutionary genetics, human genetics, mitochondrial genetics, heritability of IQ, archaeogenetics, psychiatric genetics and genetic code.
