Plant research has stood at the forefront of the genomics revolution. One of the first genome projects, the sequencing of the commonly used model organism Arabidopsis, has already yielded important results for the study of a broad array of crops such as corn and soybeans. With crop and food bioengineering only in its infancy, the need to understand the fundamental genetic mechanisms of plants will only become more pressing. A comprehensive guide to this fascinating area of genomics, Plant Genomics and Proteomics presents an integrated, broadly accessible treatment of the complex relationship between the genome, transcriptome, and proteome of plants. This clearly written text introduces the r...
Today genomics, part of a larger movement toward personalized medicine, is poised to revolutionize health care. Elements of genomics are already being incorporated on a widespread basis, including prenatal disease screening and targeted cancer treatments. With more innovations soon to arrive at the bedside, the promise of the genomics revolution is limitless. This book offers an authoritative resource on the prospects and realities of genomics and personalized medicine. As consumers are faced with additional options and more complicated decisions regarding their own health care, Snyder unpacks this sometimes-opaque subject matter into clear and actionable prose. -- from back cover.
In the years since the Human Genome Project, genomics has grown into a big and rapidly developing field driven by bioinformatics technology. The implications for our health and privacy, and our understanding of ecological systems and evolution are profound. This book provides an account of this exciting new science, its impact and its potential.
Clinical Genomics, Second Edition provides a full overview of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies that are currently used in clinical diagnostic laboratories. The book presents key bioinformatic challenges and solutions that must be addressed by clinical genomicists and genomic pathologists, such as specific pipelines for identification of the full range of variants that are clinically important. It focuses on the challenges of diagnostic interpretation of NGS results in a clinical setting, with later sections devoted to emerging regulatory issues governing the clinical use of NGS and reimbursement paradigms that will affect the way in which laboratory professionals get compensated...
Welcome to the world of genomics and its incredible applications in medicine. In this book, we will explore the scientific and technological advances that have revolutionized our understanding of the human genome and how these discoveries are transforming the field of health. Genomics, which studies the structure, function and sequence of our genetic material, has played a fundamental role in the identification of genetic variants associated with diseases and in the development of new therapeutic strategies. By mapping the human genome, it has become possible to better understand the origins of diseases and offer personalized treatments, opening doors to precision medicine. In this book, we'...
Microbial Functional Genomics offers a timely summary of the principles, approaches, and applications. It presents a comprehensive review of microbial functional genomics, covering microbial diversity, microbial genome sequencing, genomic technologies, genome-wide functional analysis, applied functional genomics, and future directions. An introduction will offer a definition of the field and an overview of the historical and comparative genomics aspects.
This book reviews how the emergence of pharmacogenetics will impact the efficiency of pharmaceutical R&D and improve healthcare decision making and clinical care. It discusses what policies need to change in order for the public to reap the benefits from advances in diagnostic genetic testing.
Volume 1 Report also available (ISBN 9780108444517). Genomic medicine has developed from the sequencing of the human genome
The first edition of Genomics and Clinical Medicine provided an overview of genomics-based advances in disease susceptibility, diagnosis, and prediction of treatment outcomes in various areas of medicine. Since its publication, the science of genomics has made tremendous progress, and exciting new developments in biotechnology and bioinformatics have created possibilities that were inconceivable only a few years ago. This completely revised second edition of Genomic Medicine reflects the rapidly changing face of applied and translational genomics in the medical and health context and provides a comprehensive coverage of principles of genetics and genomics relevant to the practice of medicine.
Introduction to Genomics is a fascinating insight into what can be revealed from the study of genomics: how organisms differ or match; how different organisms evolved; how the genome is constructed and how it operates; and what our understanding of genomics means in terms of our future health and wellbeing. Covering the latest techniques that enable us to study the genome in ever-increasing detail, the book explores what the genome tells us about life at the level of the molecule, the cell, and the organism. Learning features throughout make this book the ideal teaching and learning tool: extensive end of chapter exercises and problems help the student to fully grasp the concepts being presented, while end of chapter WebLems (web-based problems) and lab assignments give the student the opportunity to engage with the subject in a hands-on manner.
