Human Molecular Genetics byRead

by Read

Following the completion of the Human Genome Project the content and
organization of the third edition of Human Molecular Genetics (HMG) has
been thoroughly revised.

PART ONE (CHAPTERS 1-7) covers basic material on DNA structure and function, chromosomes, cells and development, pedigree analysis and the basic techniques used in the laboratory.

PART TWO (CHAPTERS 8-12) discusses the various genome sequencing projects and the insights they provide into the organization, expression, variation and evolution of our genome.

PART THREE (CHAPTERS 13-18) focuses on mapping, identifying and diagnosing the genetic causes of mendelian and complex diseases and cancer.

PART FOUR (CHAPTERS (19-21) looks at the wider horizons
of functional genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, animal models and therapy.
There are new chapters on cells and development and on functional
genomics. The sections on complex diseases have been completely rewritten and
reorganized, as has the chapter on Genome Projects. Other changes include a new
section on molecular phylogenetics (Chapter 12) and the introduction of 'Ethics
Boxes' to discuss some of the implications of the new knowledge. Virtually every
page has been revised and updated to take account of the stunning developments
of the past four years since the publication of the last edition of Human
Molecular Genetics.

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was fabulous. Some of the lower ratings must be from disgruntled undergrads.

It was a very helpful book during my preparation for an interview on molecular genetics. The concepts were very well laid out and simple to be understood.

Also used this for my exam on molbio. Quite helpful and understandable.
