This work provides guidance on the principles underlying modern human molecular genetics. This new edition has been updated to take account of the changes in our understanding of this field since the late 1990s.
Now completely rewritten, this book guides students and researchers through the latest developments in this changing area of life science. It retains the structure of the first edition and adds a wealth of new data and features to aid understanding of the principles of human molecular genetics.
This volume is designed to meet the need for a text which covers all aspects of human molecular genetics, and describes the actual and potential applications of that knowledge to medicine. It ranges from covering the fundamentals of human genetics at a non-specialist level to acting as a comprehensive stand-alone guide for molecular genetics.
