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, and the organisation of genetic knowledge in maps has
been a major driving force in the establishment of the discipline.
This book provides a comprehensive history of molecular genetics
and genomics. The first section of the book shows how the genetic
cartography of classical genetics was linked to the molecular
analysis of gene structure through the introduction of new model
organisms such as bacteria and through the invention of new
experimental tools such as gene transfer. The second section
addresses the moral and political economy of human genome
sequencing in all its technical, epistemic, social and economic
complexity. With detailed analyses of the scientific practices of
mapping and its illustration of the diversity of mapping practices
this book is a significant contribution to the history of genetics.
A companion volume from the same editors - Classical Genetic
Research and Its Legacy: The Mapping Cultures of Twentieth Century
Genetics - covers the history of mapping procedures as they were
developed in classical genetics.
