We are pleased that in planning the Conference and this book, so much of the work presented is at the interface between cytogenetics and molecular biology.

But little did they know how it would EXPLODE! This book will look at genetic testing as it applies today and how the serious decisions that it demands, cannot be ignored.

This review will be restricted to human somatic chromosomes, i. e. it wi11leave out meiosis, and will provide information on other species only if this seems necessary for increased clarity.

This book will be of interest to developmental biologists and embryologists.

Contributors detail up-to-date guidelines for using molecular techniques, cytogenetic and linkage analysis, and cellular methods, emphasizing human cells and medically relevant research.

Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the general properties of type I and type II restriction enzymes, basic aspects of restriction enzyme technology, and applications of restriction enzyme technology to the ...
