Synopsis

Genomics, the study of the genomes of organisms, focuses on the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. Recent scientific discoveries have demonstrated that specific genetic traits may be risk factors for common diseases that affect public health. The translation of these discoveries into medical practice will provide new opportunities for health promotion and disease prevention. This book provides the current applications and issues in this field. The authors of each chapter are experts, recognized by their peers as being at the forefront of their profession.
