The central importance of the genome, as opposed to the action of individual genes; 2. The application of genetics to the improvement of human health; 3. The growing appreciation for the relationships among organisms arising from genetic research; 4. The impact of biotechnology on the accelerating growth of genetic knowledge; and 5. The importance of emerging social and ethical issues related to our use of biotechnology.
