Features: Genetics is a cutting-edge discipline in the life sciences today, serving as the theoretical foundation for breeding new varieties of microorganisms, animals, and plants, human genetic health, and genetic engineering. Since G. Mendel revealed the laws of genetics in 1865, and especially in the over 100 years since Mendel's laws were rediscovered in 1900, the development of genetics has been ever-evolving. Research on genetic and mutation mechanisms has progressed from the individual and cellular levels to the microscopic molecular level and the macroscopic population level. The techniques and scope of genetic applications have also advanced to a higher standard, such as from conventional breeding to the cultivation of transgenic organisms, human eugenics, longevity, and the prevention and treatment of genetic diseases, as well as the emergence of genetic engineering products. With the development of genetic theory and applications, new professional terms have continuously emerged. To facilitate professionals in teaching, research, technology, writing, and translation, this book, English-Chinese Dictionary of Genetics and Its Applications, was compiled by Mr. Ding Yizhi, Ding Wenshan, and Gao Jing, and published by our press. It is hoped that this dictionary will be helpful to readers.
