چکیده

For the scientist completely ignorant of the DNA-RNA-Histone-Protein literature, this book provides some basic references and a relatively comprehensible, if incomplete, introduction to the subject. However, there are many books available that provide the same services in a more thorough and reliable manner. The part of the book concerned with development is skimpy and oversimplified to near meaninglessness. The writing is, in general, not only sloppy to the point of frequently being misleading but occasionally nauseatingly coy. Mr. Bonner writes of "A holding hands with T, G holding hands with C," but if he is really aiming at an audience unsophisticated enough not to know the DNA base pairs, he would have been better advised to use that same space to give the bond type rather than depicting this macromolecular square dance. It is hard to see why this book was written. It is even harder to think of a reason for reading it-unless, of course, one is a book reviewer.

A Comprehensive Review on Eryptosis.

Erythrocytes (RBCs) are extremely sensitive cells, and although they do not have nuclei and mitochondria, are important health indicators. This is particularly true because, during inflammation, whether it is systemic or chronic, the haematological system is constantly exposed to circulating inflammatory mediators. RBCs have a highly specialized and organized membrane structure, which interacts...

Genetics Techniques for Thermococcus kodakarensis

Thermococcus kodakarensis (T. kodakarensis) has emerged as a premier model system for studies of archaeal biochemistry, genetics, and hyperthermophily. This prominence is derived largely from the natural competence of T. kodakarensis and the comprehensive, rapid, and facile techniques available for manipulation of the T. kodakarensis genome. These genetic capacities are complemented by robust p...
