Gender issues are part and parcel of genes and genomics in scientific research and in socio-cultural discourses and representations. Current literature on genes and genomics does not abound in analyses of biomedical and socio-cultural realms where gender aspects are played out and exchanged. The Yearbook contextualizes history from the viewpoint of biotechnological developments. Guest editors are Klasien Horstman and Marli Huijer. Show less
