This third edition of Human Molecular Genetics continues to provide a clear introduction to this complex and fast moving field. Now updated and revised throughout, the material covered has been carefully selected and structured to provide a concise overview for students studying the subject as part of a general biology, genetics or medical degree.Â
The text is aimed at courses in Human Genetics, Human Molecular Genetics and The Molecular Basis of Disease taught within Biology, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Genetics and medical and other health-care degrees.Â
New to the third edition:
- Concise up-to-day introduction to human molecular genetics
- Fully revised chapter on complex diseases including the use of population based genome-wide association studies to identify risk alleles.
- New chapter on small RNAs and their role in gene regulation and disease
- Fully revised chapter on genome sequencing and associated technologies, including how the draft human genome sequence was finished and the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies.
- Updated chapter on single gene disorders reviewing advances in our understanding of their underlying molecular pathologies.
