Bio-medicine, biotechnology and ethics
 |
Progress in Molecular Biology and Genomics has signifcantly increased the understanding of nature and its principles: Results from the analysis of the human genome show that many diseases and characteristics of individuals are influenced by inherited genes. But we need a much better understanding of how the environment interacts with the genetic dispositions to evaluate the balance between nature and nurture. |
