Description:
Human Molecular Genetics has been cautiously crafted over successive variations to provide an authoritative introduction to the molecular factors of human genetics, genomics, and cellular biology.
Maintaining the features which have made previous variations so popular, this fifth edition has been completely up to date in keeping with the latest tendencies within the area. Older technology together with cloning and hybridization were merged and summarized, insurance of more recent DNA sequencing technologies has been expanded, and effective new gene modifying and unmarried-mobile genomics technologies were delivered. The insurance of GWAS, useful genomics, stem cells, and disease modeling has been elevated. Greater attention is given to inheritance and variation in the context of populations and at the function of epigenetics in gene regulation.
Human Molecular Genetics has been carefully crafted over successive editions to provide an authoritative introduction to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics, and cell biology.
Maintaining the features that have made previous editions so popular, this fifth edition has been completely updated in line with the latest developments in the field. Older technologies such as cloning and hybridization have been merged and summarized, coverage of newer DNA sequencing technologies has been expanded, and powerful new gene editing and single-cell genomics technologies have been added. The coverage of GWAS, functional genomics, stem cells, and disease modeling has been expanded. Greater focus is given to inheritance and variation in the context of populations and on the role of epigenetics in gene regulation.
Key features:
-
- A fully integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics, and cell biology
-
- The accessible text is supported and enhanced throughout by superb artwork illustrating the key concepts and mechanisms
