Now completely rewritten, HMG2 guides students and researchers through the very latest developments in this most rapidly changing area of life science. The highly regarded structure of the best-selling first edition is retained, and 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, DNA mutation and repair, and comparative genomics and evolution an integrated approach to developmental genetics the latest Human Genome Project data including an assessment of the impact of complete genome sequences 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 only book of choice for readers requiring an authoritative and integrated approach to human genetics.
