Investigating the Human Genome by Moyra Smith (Perseu) torrent

Leading medical genetics scholar Moyra Smith reviews current
and recent work in genetics and genomics to assess progress
in understanding human variation and the pathogenesis of common
and rare diseases in which genetics plays a role.

Smith provides an exceptional overview of the most important
biomedical progress arising from the greatly increased genetic
information base generated by gene mapping and the sequencing
of the complete Human Genome. This book addresses into a wide
spectrum of topics associated with human genetics and genomics,
including: Human origins; migrations and human population
diversity gained though genomic analyses.The complexities of
psychiatric diseases that are influenced by genetics.

The pathogenesis of late-onset neurological diseases such as
Alzheimer's, Parkinsonism, and ALS. Key aspects of protein
misfolding. Gene-environment interactions in DNA damage and
repair and DNA instability. Micro RNAs and mRNA translation.
Epigenetics. New functions for old enzymes in cancer.
