Human Molecular Genetics

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. While maintaining the depth and hallmark features of previous editions the Fourth Edition includes 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 continually developing subject. Human Molecular Genetics has been restructured so that discussion of genomic technologies is integrated into the text. A new section that concentrates on genetic testing, screening, and disease models has been added. Coverage of stem cells, cell senescence/immortalization, cell signaling, epigenetics, studying gene function, and model organisms has been expanded. The revised and updated Fourth Edition of Human Molecular Genetics bridges the gap between introductory textbooks and research papers, emphasizing underlying concepts and principles throughout.
