OSTI ID:6172557
This book gives a topical account of the applications and implications of DNA technology in clinical medicine. Starting with a description of the anatomy of the gene and the techniques used in molecular biology, it goes on to describe the uses of these methods in hormone bioassays, tumor diagnosis, virology and the pre-natal detection and diagnosis of genetic disease. In addition, it examines the commercial exploitation of bioengineering and the ethical issues that arise through the use of this technology. Technical detail is kept to a minimum.
