This book covers the dynamic process of genetic diversity in living organisms. It comprises eight chapters that address various topics, including genetic diversity in crop production, the relationship between viruses and their hosts, patterns of genetic variability in silver carp populations in Pakistan, molecular markers used for wildlife conservation, and more.

Skin pigmentation disorder is one of the common skin diseases. In general, skin gets its color from melanin pigment, which is produced by melanocytes in the skin. When these cells are damaged, they can negatively affect melanin production. Pigmentation disorders in the skin are classified as hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. Hyperpigmentation appears due to increased melanin in the skin. Typical hyperpigmentation disorders include post-i...
