Synopses & Reviews
Human Molecular Genetics is an established and class-proven textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, which provides an authoritative and integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics.a While maintaining the depth and hallmark features of previous editions the Fourth Edition includes new Key Concepts at the beginning of each chapter, and annotated further reading at the conclusion of each chapter, to help readers navigate the wealth of information in this continually developing subject.
Human Molecular Genetics has been restructured so that discussion of genomic technologies is integrated into the text.a A new section that concentrates on genetic testing, screening, and disease models has been added.a Coverage of stem cells, cell senescence/immortalization, cell signaling, epigenetics, studying gene function, and model organisms has been expanded.
The revised and updated Fourth Edition of Human Molecular Genetics bridges the gap between introductory textbooks and research papers, emphasizing underlying concepts and principles throughout.
Synopsis
The 4th edition of Human Molecular Genetics maintains the rigour and depth of previous editions and has added key concepts at the start of each chapter and annotated further reading at the end of each chapter to help readers navigate the mass of information available. The text has been restructured so genomic technologies are integrated into the text. A new section that concentrates on genetic testing, screening, and disease models has been added, and information on stem cells, cell senescence/immortalization, cell signalling, epigenetics, studying gene function, and model organisms expanded. It remains an invaluable resource to upper level undergraduates, graduates, instructors, and researchers.
Synopsis
Human Molecular Genetics is an established and class-proven textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students which provides an authoritative and integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics. While maintaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the Fourth Edition has been completely updated. It includes new Key Concepts at the beginning of each chapter and annotated further reading at the conclusion of each chapter, to help readers navigate the wealth of information in this subject.
The text has been restructured so genomic technologies are integrated throughout, and next generation sequencing is included. Genetic testing, screening, approaches to therapy, personalized medicine, and disease models have been brought together in one section. Coverage of cell biology including stem cells and cell therapy, studying gene function and structure, comparative genomics, model organisms, noncoding RNAs and their functions, and epigenetics have all been expanded.
