Overview

This volume of ""Chromosomes Today"" provides up-to-date information regarding relevant aspects of the genetic regulation, the chromosomes imprinting, the DNA duplication, the meiotic pairing, the regulation of the cell cycle and cell division and also some applicative aspects like the role of the chromosome aberrations in cancer. This book should of interest for a wide spectrum of researchers and professionals in the biological science and medicine.
