| Description: |
Explains the differences between cells, genes, chromosomes and genomes, and how genomes can be modified. This book contrasts the uncertainty of these methods against the precision claimed by proponents - especially the large multinational companies that dominate trade in seeds, and perceive ownership of genes as a way to increase profits. |
| Synopsis: |
Explains to readers the differences between cells, genes, chromosomes and genomes, and how genomes can be modified. Its comprehensive glossary will be a boon to all non-scientists. The book contrasts the uncertainty of these new methods against the 'precision' claimed by proponents - especially the large multinational companies that now dominate trade in seeds, and perceive 'ownership' of genes as a way to further increase profits. |
