Using the advanced search feature and limiting the search to the LC Subject Heading field (chosen from the drop-down menu) returned the search results below.  Similar to searching in our online book catalog, Ebook Central will suggest other subject terms that will help you to narrow your results.

A search for books on the LC Subject Heading Genetics produced 207 documents.  By choosing the subject Medical/Genetics from the column on the left side of the page, the number of results was reduced to 33, thus narrowing the broad topic of Genetics and producing a more focused list of books from which to choose.

This search was run in March 2020. The number of documents may be different when you do your search as new books are being added to this database on a regular basis.
