The laws of inheritance were considered quite superficial until
1903, when the chromosome theory of heredity was established by
Sutton and Boveri. The discovery of the double helix and the
genetic code led to our understanding of gene structure and
function. For the past quarter of a century, remarkable progress
has been made in the characterization of the human genome in order
to search for coherent views of genes. The unit of inheritance
termed factor or gene, once upon a time thought to be a trivial an
imaginary entity, is now perceived clearly as the precise unit of
inheritance that has continually deluged us with amazement by its
complex identity and behaviour, sometimes bypassing the university
of Mendel's law.
The aim of the fifth volume, entitled Genes and Genomes, is to
cover the topics ranging from the structure of DNA itself to the
structure of the complete genome, along with everything in between,
encompassing 12 chapters. These chapters relate much of the
information accumulated on the role of DNA in the organization of
genes and genomes per se. Several distinguished scientists, all
pre-eminent authorities in each field to share their expertise.
Obviously, since the historical report on the double helix
configuration in 1953, voluminous reports on the meteoric advances
in genetics have been accumulated, and to cover every account in a
single volume format would be a Herculean task. Therefore, only a
few topics are chosen, which are of great interest to molecular
geneticists. This volume is intended for advanced graduate students
who would wish to keep abreast with the most recent trends in
genome biology.
