Abstract

For example, de Chadarevian notes that cancer cytogenetics helped to expand the meaning of "genetics" from regular intergenerational biological transmission to the transmission of information across I cellular i generations. Historian of genetics Soraya de Chadarevian takes a first step towards integrating the chromosomes into the overall narrative of the history of human genetics. Evolutionary cytogenetics was always just a small detour for clinical chromosome researchers, and it is for de Chadarevian as well. [Extracted from the article]
