Advanced Genetics: Manual for Genetic Engineering

Description

Almost every human trait and disease has a genetic component, whether inherited or influenced by behavioral factors such as exercise. Genetic components can also modify the body's response to environmental factors such as toxins. This book provides fundamental information about basic genetics concepts, including cell structure, the molecular and biochemical basis of disease, major types of genetic disease, laws os inheritance and the impact of genetic variation. The concept of human genetics and the role of genes, behavior and the environment is important for appropriately collecting and applying genetic and genomic information and technologies during clinical care.
