  • Introducing Genetics

    A Graphic Guide

    by Steve Jones ...
    Series series Graphic Guides
    Genetics is the newest of all sciences - nothing useful was known about inheritance until just over a century ago. Now genetics is exploding, and before long we will have the complete code, written in three thousand million letters of DNA, of what makes a human being.Introducing Genetics takes us from the early work of Mendel to the discovery of DNA, the human gene map and the treatment of inborn ...

  • Modelling Protocells

    The Emergent Synchronization of Reproduction and Molecular Replication

    by Roberto Serra, Marco Villani ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The monograph discusses models of synthetic protocells, which are cell-like structures obtained from non-living matter endowed with some rudimentary kind of metabolism and genetics, but much simpler than biological cells. They should grow and proliferate, generating offsprings that resemble in some way the parent protocells with some variation, so that selection may take place. Sustainable ... Read more

  • Modelling the Short QT Syndrome Gene Mutations

    And Their Role in Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis

    by Ismail Adeniran ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The Short QT Syndrome (SQTS) is characterized by abbreviated QT intervals on the electrocardiogram, increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. Although several gene mutations have been identified in SQT patients, the role of these mutations in promoting arrhythmogenesis is still not completely understood. Consequently, this thesis employs multidisciplinary approaches to develop a 3D ... Read more
