Riassunto

Molecular and Genetic Analysis of Human Traits will address the science student human genetics market. Although incorporating two basic themes: how do we establish that a trait is hereditary, and how is the human genome organized, it will also address relevant clinical examples and key related ethical issues. New attractive features have been added, including a chapter project, and end of chapter exercises which rely on real data.

• Each chapter includes end of chapter exercises, and references.
  
• In-text examples and internet references are cited.
  
• Most figures will be 2 color, with some 4 color inserts.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Molecular and Genetic Analysis of Human Traits is the first concise presentation of what is unique about human genetics. Designed to introduce human genetics to undergraduate and graduate students who are familiar with basic genetics, the text assumes knowledge of meiosis and Mendelian genetics as well as the basic principles of transmission of information from DNA to RNA to proteins. Professor Maroni s engaging presentation is both authoritative and student-oriented.

Outstanding features highlight this groundbreaking first edition:

• Incorporates two basic themes throughout: "How do we establish that a trait is hereditary?" and "How can the properties of a trait be explained by the underlying molecular causes?"


• Compares standard genetic approaches to those needed for studying inheritance in humans


• Prepares students for understanding the original literature by clear presentation of actual experiments


• Chapters 3 and 4 include thorough treatment of the human genome project as explained in its rationale, its development, and its conclusion


• Provides a comprehensive explanation of how genes are mapped by describing the four methods most commonly used: linkage analysis, affected pedigree member, allelic association, and candidate gene

Exceptional student-friendly pedagogy:

• Describes a wealth of applications, including: how genetics is used in understanding cancer (Chapter 8) and how genetic predictions impact counseling for families who are at risk (Chapter 9)


• Addresses relevant clinical examples and key related ethical issues


• The Human Genome Project Box includes the latest, culminating research


• Internet Site Boxes refer to pertinent human genetics URLs


• Chapter opening contents, margin notes, two-color figures, four-color insert, examples, conclusions, end-of-chapter exercises, over 150 original literature citation, and much more!
