The field of genetics continues to advance at an ever-accelerating pace, marked by numerous extraordinary achievements in recent years: the expansion of the study of gene expression and genetic variation to a global, genome-wide scale; the comparative analyzation of the proteomes of key model organisms in unprecedented detail; of course, the completion of the human genome project. Such momentous advances in genetics have been accompanied by a deluge of new experimental techniques, computational technologies, databases, Internet sites, periodicals, books, and of course, concepts and terms. In this new edition the term "genetics" itself is re-defined, reflecting recent technical advances, and with them, the convergence of classical and molecular genetics. With widespread applications, today's genetics thus also unify the biological sciences, medical sciences, and evolutionary studies. As a result, the seventh edition contains many more new and revised entries as compared to the sixth edition--511 new and 980 revised definitions contribute to a 23% change in content.
