Debating the use of genomic tools and their societal impactOver the past decade, the field of human genetics has produced an extraordinary range of discoveries-including the refinement of polygenic scores, which use a person's DNA to estimate their likelihood of developing a trait or disease. But are these new technologies ready to leave the research lab and be deployed in schools, fertility clinics, and the wider world? In What We Inherit, Sam Trejo and Daphne Martschenko offer different perspectives on the societal impact of the rapidly unfolding DNA revolution. Trejo, a sociologist and expert on the complex ways people's genes influence their life's trajectory, believes that new genomic tools-if used thoughtfully-can improve society; Martschenko, a bioethicist who specializes in the thorny social issues raised by biomedical advances, is more cautious. They debate both the risks and the opportunities posed by such new technologies as at-home genetic tests and polygenic embryo selection-all while engaging in a wide-ranging dialogue on ideology, biology, and social inequality. While grappling with these new technologies, Trejo and Martschenko remind us that we inherited from our ancestors not only DNA but also wrong-headed ideas about genes. Together, they caution against two particularly harmful genetic myths: that genes determine an individual's future, and that race and genetics are inherently connected. A polygenic score, for example, is not a definitive marker for disease. And race is a sociopolitical construct, not a biological identity. Trejo and Martschenko argue that, to avoid exacerbating social inequality, we need to begin regulating genomic tools sooner rather than later.

How New Technologies and Old Myths Are Shaping Our Genomic Future

What We Inherit

Primarily meant for undergraduate and graduate students wanting to develop their expertise in agricultural sceince and chemistry, this book aims at understanding the basic physical chemistry of soils. In addition, environmental problems such as soil stresses and the interactions between the different environmental components are highlighted. This book serves as a basic tool for students enrolled in agriculture, soil science and environmental science courses.

DNA fingerprinting has revolutionized forensic science in the last 30 years. This book provides a current background into forensic biology techniques, both those that are currently practiced and those emerging in this rapidly advancing field. Recent and new advanced testing methods covered include next generation sequencing, forensic phenotyping, MicroRNA expression analysis, 20 core STR loci typing, and more. The book highlights evidence as the means to identify biological fluids blood, semen, saliva, urine, feces, vaginal secretions and menstrual blood to definitively identify both an individual, as well as the tissue source of origin, which can be critical in the investigative process.

The definitive story of cannabis, from its evolution and biological quirks to its role in human history &nbsp; In this entertaining natural history, Rob DeSalle provides a glimpse into the biological world through the lens of the marijuana plant. A close relative of hops with a surprising place in the botanical tree of life, cannabis has a unique life cycle, has evolved pathways for over four hundred compounds, and makes one thousand or so different chemicals that are stored in its tissues—some of which are the basis of its famed psychoactive properties. &nbsp; With his scientist’s perspective on this well-known and controversial plant, DeSalle considers taxonomy, systematics, evolution, human physiology and neurobiology, and cultural issues. He discusses the plant’s complicated reproductive strategies; considers ancient arthropod-cannabis associations from South Asia; and offers a nuanced cultural history that extends from the first evidence of smoking cannabis more than two thousand years ago to the current debates over legalization. Engaging and extensively researched, with illustrations by Patricia Wynne, this is a vital resource for cannabis enthusiasts and anyone curious about the science behind this infamous “weed.”
