Advances in Gene Technology: Human Genetic Disorders: Proceedings of the 16th Miami Winter Symposium (Icsu Short Reports, Vol 1)

This symposium volume provides a topical survey of some of the most recent and significant progress in human genetics, as revealed by new advances in gene technology. The first half consists of contributions from the invited speakers; the major topics covered are oncogenes, translocations and gene activation, mechanisms of gene activation, the major histocompatibility loci, human genetic organisation and, finally, hybridisation, immunological and enzymic techniques. A novel feature of these reports is the inclusion, in the second half of the book, of short papers arising from poster sessions. Invited contributions and poster sessions together provide a thorough and timely record of an important subject.Scott, Walter A. is the author of 'Advances in Gene Technology: Human Genetic Disorders: Proceedings of the 16th Miami Winter Symposium (Icsu Short Reports, Vol 1)', published 1984 under ISBN 9780521267496 and ISBN 0521267498.
