    About this ebook

    Genetic gone through a breakthrough in the discovery that
    DNA would be the fundamental structure carrying the genetic
    information. Among the various work with this molecule, he
    stood out to Watson, Crick, Wilkins, and Franklin in 1953,
    which demonstrated the structure of the DNA double helix.
     
    After the discovery of DNA structure, several other studies have
    been conducted to understand who was responsible for
    producing the proteins. The idea that DNA would be
    responsible for the synthesis of RNA and that this, in turn,
    would be responsible for producing proteins was postulated by
    Crick in 1958 and became known as Molecular Biology of the
    Central Dogma.
     
    From these findings, many advances have occurred in
    Molecular Biology and directly affected the development of
    genetics. Among this significant progress, there is the technique
    of recombinant DNA, which is characterized by the ability to
    isolate a stretch of DNA and replace inside a bacterium to
    produce copies of this section. Thus, it was possible to make
    organisms produce substances of economic interest.
     
    The advance of genetics completely changed the modern world,
    making it possible, for example, create clones, resistant
    transgenic crops to pests, perform paternity tests and solve
    crimes, map diseases and perform genetic counseling.

    below to see what's new in the field of genetics and to
    understand the principles that guide this biology field
