      DNA in Health, Identity and Ancestry examines the human genome and advances in molecular techniques in relation to their value in health, genetic ancestry, and forensic DNA. This book systematically presents these three areas, providing new insights into recent developments in these fields, including gene editing, ancestral fraction determination, and DNA profiling. It covers the latest advances in molecular biology to understand the pertinent issues in these areas. DNA in Health, Identity and Ancestry provides an introduction to human genomes, and then delves into health, forensics and ancestry across 36 chapters. Each section is concluded with practical case studies to demonstrate the application of the principles discussed in each respective section. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students in biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics. It not only provides them with fundamental knowledge on genetics, diseases, population genetics and forensic DNA, but also presents advances, technical operational standards, analytical tools and recent developments in these respective areas.

      Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice. Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles including obituaries are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Serial Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiaw.price@wes...

      When synthetic drugs produce adverse side effects, practitioners may look to natural alternatives to alleviate symptoms or complement existing treatment. Therapeutic Potential of Medicinal Plants: The Science Behind Natural Remedies, investigates the bioactive compounds and functionality of medicinal plants and herbs which are recommended to help certain health conditions and overall well-being while highlighting cultivation that can be done sustainably to promote biodiversity conservation. Written by over 50 experts in the fields of nutrition, organic food, fertility, phytopharmacology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, plant botanicals, and herbal medicine, “Therapeutic Potential of Medicinal Plants: The Science Behind Natural Remedies,” introduces readers to the the chemical composition of over 75 plants, herbs, grains and seeds while highlighting their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects to improve overall well being and manage certain conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Bioactive compounds, essential oils and phytochemicals in certain plants and marine compounds are reviewed for their efficacy to help improve gynecological health, alleviate menopausal symptoms and lower blood pressure. The book also discusses the toxicity and safety implications associated with the use of medicinal herbs during pregnancy and other life stages.
