Problems And Solutions For Strachan And Read S Human Molecular Genetics 2

This problems and solutions book, covering the molecular aspects of human genetics, will serve as a companion to the second edition of Strachan and Read's Human Molecular Genetics. There will be 22 chapters divided into seven parts (Fundamentals of genes and chromosomes, Fundamentals of DNA technology, Features of the human genome, Mapping the human genome, Comparative genomics, Human genetic diseases, Dissecting and manipulating genes). Within each chapter, there will be 5 - 10 multi-part open-ended problems, 5-10 review questions, 10 multiple choice questions. Where appropriate bioinformatics questions will also be included. The book will be heavily illustrated consisting of approximately 100 black and white photos and 200 black and white line drawings that will be designed and formatted similarly to its companion textbook. While the problems book is intended as a companion to Human Molecular Genetics it can also be used independently from the textbook by both students and instructors. Where most problems books are priced for students we envision that the book will be purchased most frequently by instructors and thus have priced it accordingly. However it still remains within reach for students who can purchase the textbook and problems book for under $100.00.

Human Molecular Genetics 2 Tom Strachan & Andrew P. Read "truly a Rolls Royce amongst textbooks" — Molecular Medicine Today "the best text to introduce students and scientists to the molecular aspects of human genetics" — Trends in Genetics "a beautifully crafted book" — Journal of Medical Genetics "addresses the gap between introductory textbooks and the primary literature. There’s no other textbook quite like it." — Nature Now extensively rewritten and updated, HMG2 guides students and researchers through the very latest developments in the most rapidly changing area of life science. The highly regarded structure of the bestselling first edition is retained, but a wealth of new data and features have been added to aid understanding of the principles of human molecular genetics: new material on cell types and the cell cycle, signal transduction, DNA mutation repair, and comparative genomics and evolution new material on recent advances in the study of gene expression and function, including the use of DNA microarrays the latest Genome Project data including an assessment of the impact of complete genome sequences and new approaches in functional genomics expanded coverage of common disease susceptibility new section on how best to obtain the latest data from web-based resources a range of new figures, with many more in full color the early use of hierarchical figures and flow charts to introduce principles described fully in later chapters new two-column layout to improve clarity further references systematically updated HMG2 is the book of choice for readers requiring an authoritative and integrated approach to human genetics.

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.

Human Molecular Genetics has been carefully crafted over successive editions to provide an authoritative introduction to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics and cell biology. Maintaining the features that have made previous editions so popular, this fifth edition has been completely updated in line with the latest developments in the field. Older technologies such as cloning and hybridization have been merged and summarized, coverage of newer DNA sequencing technologies has been expanded, and powerful new gene editing and single-cell genomics technologies have been added. The coverage of GWAS, functional genomics, stem cells, and disease modeling has been expanded. Greater focus is given to inheritance and variation in the context of populations and on the role of epigenetics in gene regulation. Key features: Fully integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics, and cell biology Accessible text is supported and enhanced throughout by superb artwork illustrating the key concepts and mechanisms Summary boxes at the end of each chapter provide clear learning points Annotated further reading helps readers navigate the wealth of additional information in this complex subject and provides direction for further study Reorganized into five sections for improved access to related topics Also new to this edition – brand new chapter on evolution and anthropology from the authors of the highly acclaimed Human Evolutionary Genetics A proven and popular textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, the new edition of Human Molecular Genetics remains the ‘go-to’ book for those studying human molecular genetics or genomics courses around the world.
