β¦ Synopsis
The Guide to Human Genome Computing is invaluable to scientists who wish to make use of the powerful computing tools now available to assist them in the field of human genome analysis. This book clearly explains access and use of sequence databases, and presents the various computer packages used to analyze DNA sequences, measure linkage analysis, compare and align DNA sequences from different genes or organisms, and infer structural and functional information about proteins from sequence data. This Second Edition contains completely updated material. Rather than a revision of the previous volume, the Second Edition is essentially a new book, based on the subjects which will be of interest over the coming years. This new book is international, both in scope and authorship. Computing resources for the following are clearly explained: * Internet resources - databases etc. * Genetic analysis * Sib-pair studies * Comparative mapping * Radiation hybrids * Sequence ready clone maps * Human genome sequencing * ESTs * Gene prediction * Gene expression

The DNA sequence that comprises the human genome--the genetic blueprint found in each of our cells--is undoubtedly the greatest code ever to be broken. Completed at the dawn of a new millennium, the feat electrified both the scientific community and the general public with its tantalizing promise of
The first laboratory manual on Human Genetics. Each chapter equals one practical unit of a course; topics are ranging from basic in human inheritance to genetics in major disease cluster to web-based resources and bioinformatics to personalized medicine to genetic counseling.
Finally meeting the need for a laboratory manual on human genetics, this practical guide is the perfect companion title to all major standard textbooks on the subject. The authors all have a high-level research background and are actively involved in teaching and counseling. Based on a standard cur
