Color Atlas of Genetics-4판

Ever since the International Human Genome Project achieved its extraordinary goal of sequencing and mapping the entire 
human genome, represented by approximately 3 billion base pairs, with its far-reaching implications for understanding 
the causes of human genetic disorders and their diagnosis, progress in the field has not slowed down.

In the fifth edition of the bestselling Color Atlas of Genetics, readers will be rewarded with a complete and current 
overview of the field, with an emphasis on the interface between fundamental principles and practical applications in 
medicine and the role of signaling pathways in causing diseases.

Using the acclaimed Flexibook format designed for easy visual learning and retention, the atlas is invaluable for 
students, clinicians, and scientists interested in staying up to date in this fast-evolving area.

New fully illustrated topics in the revised fifth edition of the atlas include:
뷒n overview of disorders resulting from structural changes of the genome (genomic disorders)
뷒bnormal imprinting patterns
뷙xamples of impaired signal pathways (laminopathies, fibrillinopathies, cohesinopathies, and others)
뷪he CRISPR-Cas system
뷛enetic features of the aging processes
뷗isorders due to rearrangements of chromatin in the cell nucleus, and others

With almost 200 stunning color plates explained by concise texts on the opposite pages, including tables presenting 
useful data, a glossary of terms, key references, and online resources, the atlas presents clear and accessible 
concepts. It is an excellent refresher for investigators in any field of medicine or biology.
