Human Molecular Genetics - A Textbook of Life Sciences (Third Edition) (Includes CD-ROM)

Author: Strawn
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2007-01-01
Features: The Human Genome Project published the "finished" version of the human genome sequence in 2003, marking a milestone in the history of human science. Based on many new discoveries in the human genome, Professors Tomstrachan and Andrew P. Read of the UK revised their edited book Human Molecular Genetics in a completely new way for the third edition. The book is divided into four parts and consists of 21 chapters. Using these new achievements, it provides a comprehensive and profound elaboration on the structure and function of DNA, chromosomes, cells and development, pedigree analysis, as well as the composition, expression, variation, and evolution of the genome. It systematically analyzes the genetic causes of human Mendelian diseases, complex diseases, and cancer, as well as their gene localization, identification, and diagnosis. It also provides detailed descriptions and prospects from a broader perspective on functional genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, animal models, and therapeutics. The book includes many well-designed illustrations and a glossary of professional terms. This book closely combines the principles of genetics with the basic techniques of modern molecular genetics. It is not only an excellent textbook for human medical genetics but also a good guide for laboratory techniques. The Chinese translation is faithful to the original text and maintains the style of the original book. It is suitable as a textbook for graduate students in the field of life sciences and can also serve as a reference for clinical doctors, genetic researchers, and undergraduate students.
