Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review

"Provides introductory material on DNA and chromosomes...describes principles and applications of cloning and molecular hybridization...presents a guide to...the human genome and human genes...examines mapping of the human genome, study of genetic diseases, and dissection and manipulation of genes." (SciTech Book News Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001)

From the Back Cover

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 updatedHMG2 is the book of choice for readers requiring an authoritative and integrated approach to human genetics.
