This volume provides a comprehensive description of the basic
tenets of molecular biology, from mechanisms to its elaborate role
in gene regulation. The initial sections cover the history of
genetics and molecular biology. The book then goes on to highlight
the significance of molecular approaches for all biological
processes in both simple and complex cells. The volume incorporates
the most recent research from this ever-evolving field. The authors
have described experimental approaches wherever necessary to
present evidence that has led to the development of important
concepts and significant advances in molecular biology.
This new volume, Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology:
Fundamentals, Advances, and Practices for a Greener Future, looks
at the application of a variety of technologies, both fundamental
and advanced, that are being used for crop improvement, metabolic
engineering, and the development of transgenic plants. The science
of agriculture is among the oldest and most intensely studied by
mankind. Human intervention has led to manipulation of plant gene
structure for the use of plants for the production of bioenergy,
food, textiles, among other industrial uses. A sound knowledge of
enzymology as well as the various biosynthetic pathways is required
to further utilize microbes as sources to provide the desired
products for industrial utility. This volume provides an overview
of all these aspects along with an updated review of the major
plant biotechnology procedures and techniques, their impact on
novel agricultural development, and crop plant improvement. Also
discussed are the use of "white biotechnology" and "metabolic
engineering" as prerequisites for a sustainable development. The
importance of patenting of plant products, world food safety, and
the role of several imminent organizations is also discussed. The
volume provides an holistic view that makes it a valuable source of
information for researchers of agriculture and biotechnology as
well as agricultural engineers, environmental biologists,
environmental engineers, and environmentalists. Short exercises at
the end of the chapters help to make the book suitable for course
work in agriculture biotechnology, genetics, biology,
biotechnology, and plant science.

field of genomics and that of precision medicine, by taking the
readers through all the details related to genomics and precision
medicine. It also updates the readers about the various innovations
that have taken place in the field of precision medicine and
discusses the path that is to be followed further. Also discussed
in the book is a review on the relation between the precision
medicine and the mutations that drive it, delving on the various

Microorganisms have critical roles in the functioning of
environment, structural formation, and plant interactions, both
positive and negative. These roles are important in reestablishing
function and biodiversity in ecosystem restoration. This book will
focus on topics where microbial ecology contributes to management,
restoration and sustainability of the biosphere. Discussing current
microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, it will review
the role of microbial communities in ecosystem services, with
examples from both natural and managed ecosystems. It also
highlights the untold ways in which microbial communities influence
environmental quality and sustainability.
The new advances in the field of genetics have led to numerous
medical breakthroughs in the past few years. Genetic Analysis:
Integrating Genes and Genomes provides an insight on the advances
made in human genetics in the last few years. The editor has
comprehensively assembled recent developments on the use of modern
genetic analytical techniques and tools for answering biological
questions related to genomic screening, mutations, gene and
environment interactions, comparative and molecular genomic
approaches for detecting genetic components of diseases. A better
understanding of the genetic basis of disease can be achieved by
studying genetic diversity across human populations. The
interaction of gene and environment and their effects on
human-specific developmental traits, genetic influences on
methylation across the human life course, interplay of genes and
lifestyle, genetic basis of disease in the context of migration,
exposure to toxic metals like Lead, and calculation of genetic risk
of diseases in unrelated individuals have been discussed. In
addition, the synergistic effects of genes involved in cancer
development, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency, vitiligo,
psoriasis, severe hypertriglyceridemia, and susceptibility to
mycobacterial infection are explored in some chapters. Use of small
interfering RNAs (siRNA), microRNAs and SINE sequences in screening
systems have also been discussed to identify genes. In one of the
articles, the general framework of whole exome sequence data
analysis is outlined. Finally, we also present an article on
ChemProt, a publicly available compilation of
chemical-protein-disease annotation resources that enables the
study of a molecule from cellular to clinical levels.
Cell biology, an important area of biology is the study of the cell
and its components. The chapters in this book are related to cell
division, biomarkers, membrane structures and functions, a few
molecular analytical techniques, and cytological techniques that
are useful in modern biomedical research. The chapters are original
research articles and reviews dealing with advance concepts, and
principles of cell biology, cell division guiding wound repair,
fundamental concepts of membrane transport, dendritic cells,
transcriptomics, clinical implications of metastatic cells,
cellular biomarkers of psychiatric disorders, and Keynurine pathway
in stem cells. A few chapters focus on analytical techniques like
gene editing or CRISPR, application of Chromogenic In Situ
Hybridization (CISH) for HPV Genotyping, molecular classification
of cancer with the 92-gene assay panel, a model that simultaneously
captures cell motility and multibody cell-cell interactions in a
confluent tissue, and phase-digital holographic microscopy as a
promising imaging technique to identify cellular biomarkers of
psychiatric disorders. In one of the reviews, the use of
alternative substrates and genetic modifications (host cell
engineering) are analyzed as tools to overcome factors limiting
productivity. The main objective is to provide easier access and
sufficient information to the readers to enrich their existing
knowledge base.
There are 2 techniques that are commonly employed in research labs:
gel electrophoresis and blotting. Following electrophoresis,
separated nucleic acids and proteins can be transferred to a
membrane where they are analyzed or detected. Depending on the
molecule being analyzed, Southern blot refers to transfer and
studying DNA, Northern blotting refers to RNA, Western blotting to
proteins and eastern blotting for post-translational modifications.
Given the importance of blotting in the lab, this book comes at an
opportune time. The book discusses the protocols and applications
of blotting-Southern, western, northern and eastern blotting. Case
studies have also presented to help the reader gain insights into
the practicality and applicability of blotting in today's world.
The editors hope that this book will serve as a lab staple just
like the aforementioned blotting techniques.
