The present book entitled A Text Book of “Molecular Cytogenetics” aims to cover a wide area of molecular biology and cytogenetic biology in a form especially suitable for graduate (PG) and undergraduate students (UG). We have deliberately kept the book to a manageable size so that neither the cost and content nor the weight is too overwhelming for the student. This book will widely help to students, teachers, academicians to aid the knowledge about the course and beyond the course related to the subject matter as given in the box. Present book contains 11 chapters. We begin by describing the history of molecular and cytogenetic biology. Further, we turn to the nucleic acid, types and its structure. The chapter 2 describes replication of DNA and enzymology, chapter 3 dscribes the transcription and modification and translation of protein is discussed in chapter 4. The next chapter 5 has DNA damage and repair mechanisms. The cytogenetics describes in the chapter 6 and sex determination and differentiation is discussed in chapter 7. The chapter 8 has karyotyping and chromosomal disorder, chapter 9 has human genome project and gene library. The chapter 10 has cancer biology, in which the role of proto-oncogenes and oncogenes, its conversion, cancer treatment, drugs and therapy is discussed. Finally, the chapter 11 includes the molecular evolution. Boxed material throughout the book is divided into examples to illustrate the topics covered in the main text, explanations of the material in depth sections that extend the coverage beyond the content of the main text.
