Human Molecular Genetics 4e

"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. The Fourth Edition has been completely updated 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 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. The pedagogical features include 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. Praise for the Third Edition: "This book is an excellent companion for students in human genetics or for researchers that want to gain background and knowledge in this field." Human Genetics Journal "[Human Genetics] is a well-crafted piece that will entertain and educate interested readers...Lewis uses vibrant language and insightful allegories to explain difficult scientific concepts...It is certainly an up-to-date account of this quickly evolving field."
