With the rise of genomics, the life sciences have entered a new
era. This book provides a comprehensive history of mapping
procedures as they were developed in classical genetics. An
accompanying volume - From Molecular Genetics to Genomics - covers
the history of molecular genetics and genomics. The book shows that
the technology of genetic mapping is by no means a recent
acquisition of molecular genetics or even genetic engineering. It
demonstrates that the development of mapping technologies has
accompanied the rise of modern genetics from its very beginnings.
In Section One, Mendelian genetics is set in perspective from the
viewpoint of the detection and description of linkage phenomena.
Section Two addresses the role of mapping for the experimental
working practice of classical geneticists, their social
interactions and for the laboratory 'life worlds'. With detailed
analyses of the scientific practices of mapping and its
illustration of the diversity of mapping practices this book is a
significant contibution to the history of genetics. A companion
volume from the same editors - From Molecular Genetics to Genomics:
The Mapping Cultures of Twentieth Century Genetics - covers the
history of molecular genetics and genomics.
