With the rise of genomics, the life sciences have entered a new
era. Maps of genomes have become the icons for a comprehensive
knowledge of the organism on a previously unattained level of
complexity. This book provides an in-depth history of mapping
procedures as they were developed in classical genetics.
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 the first section, Mendelian genetics is set in
perspective from the viewpoint of the detection and description of
linkage phenomena. The second section addresses the role of mapping
for the experimental working practice of classical geneticists,
their social interactions, and for their laboratory "life worlds."
With its detailed analyses of the scientific practices and its
illustration of the diversity of mapping, this book is a
significant contribution 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.
