Advances In Genetics Vol. I
As material for their research geneticists use higher and lower plants,
higher and lower animals, and recently also viruses and bacteriophages.
They study heredity in man. In their experiments they may use bio-
physical methods, they may investigate the chemical synthesis of organic
compounds, they may study the components of living cells. A considerable
part of genetic research deals with practical problems related to the breed-
ing of plants and animals. As a consequence of these several aspects of
research in genetics, the results of such research are published in a wide
variety of journals, and summary reviews are scattered among a consider-
able number of review periodicals.
This series of review articles, AdvAnCES IN GENETics, has been started
in order that critical summaries of outstanding genetic problems,written
by competent geneticists, may appear in a single publication. The articles
are expected to deal with both theoretical and practical problems, and to
cover plant breeding, animal breeding, and human heredity, as well as the
related fields of biophysies, biochemistry, physiology, and immunology.
The aim is to have the articles written in such form that they will be useful
as reference material for geneticists and also as a source of information to
nongeneticists.
The editors of AdvancES in GeNetics appreciate the fine response of
their colleagues who have been asked to prepare reviews. They take it
as an indication that this undertaking will fulfill a real need.
