Such students can continue to depend on this valuable text, joining those in newer fields of genome data analysis for all they need to know about genetics and genomics throughout their basic science training, clinical placements and beyond. Coverage includes new discoveries-such as the functional roles of non-coding RNAs, chromatin regulation and epigenetics-latest technologies, and new diagnoses they are enabling.
Under an expanded title, this ninth edition has been completely revised by a new editorial team overseeing a large cadre of contributing authors. Support groups have also assisted to update illustrations featuring beautiful images of those living with genetic conditions.
Comprehensive coverage of: genomes in biology and medicine; copy number and structural genomic variation; novel discoveries; latest technology; and new genetic diagnoses
Over 40 clinical case studies, capturing the latest challenges of variable expression, pleiotropy, and complex disorders through new diagnostic strategies
Full-color text, illustrations, updated line diagrams, and clinical photos
End-of-chapter questions and comprehensive answers to challenge the reader to consolidate the material into practice and prepare for examinations
USMLE-style and multiple choice questions available as part of the eBook
An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
