An exploration into how recent leaps in the understanding of DNA offer both scientific promises and complex ethical issues probes the fundamental questions related to advances in DNA science, covering such topics as the business of genomics, the use of DNA technology to solve crimes, investment and economic issues, and the stem cell debate.

In 2001 the Human Genome Project succeeded in mapping the DNA of humans. This landmark accomplishment launched the field of genomics, the integrated study of all the genes in the human body and the related biomedical interventions that can be tailored to benefit a person's health. Today genomics, part of a larger movement toward personalized medicine, is poised to revolutionize health care. By cross-referencing an individual's genetic sequence -- their genome -- against known elements of "Big Data," 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 entry in the What Everyone Needs to Know series offers an authoritative resource on the prospects and realities of genomics and personalized medicine. As this science continues to alter traditional medical paradigms, consumers are faced with additional options and more complicated decisions regarding their health care. This book provides the essential information everyone needs.

Hardcover. The complete set of DNA instructions found in a cell is known as the genome. The specialty within biology which deals with the function, mapping, structure, evolution and editing of genomes is known as genomics. Human genome refers to the base pairs of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that comprise the entire set of chromosomes in the human body. It is a collection of long polymers of DNA, which contain both the coding and non-coding DNA regions. The structure, organization, chemical modifications and sequencing of these polymers provide the necessary machinery for communicating the information stored in the genome. All human biological research heavily relies on the sequenced human genome, because it is an essential reference for comparing all human genomes. Understanding the human genome provides insight into the disease risks or health tendencies of humans. It is also helpful in understanding the origin of the human species and the links that exist among human subpopulations. This book contains some path-breaking studies on genomics. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to its applications in human biology. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Genomics researchers today are faced with an ever-increasing amount of data to analyze, and yet they have a difficult time leveraging modern frameworks and technologies (like Spark and cloud infrastructure) to efficiently and accurately analyze their data. This practical guide provides the guidance these researchers need. With this book, you’ll learn how to combine algorithms designed for genomics with the leading tool for big data—Spark—and the ascendant paradigm of working in the cloud with Docker.

The field of Molecular Diagnostics is rapidly evolving and molecular characterization of neoplasms is becoming an increasingly important part of the pathologic work up and diagnosis of many tumor types. This work provides a high-yield reference book that compiles critical information related to molecular biomarkers for various solid tumor and hematologic malignancy subtypes. It is succinct yet comprehensive enough to be suitable for fellows in training and medical professionals with an interest in molecular pathology and biomarkers. The book covers many aspects of molecular diagnostics, from techniques to applications and comprehensive summaries of the current molecular biomarkers of critical importance in solid and liquid tumors. Attention is also specifi cally devoted to bioinformatics and next generation sequencing, as well as pre-analytical issues that must be considered for accurate interpretation of molecular results in the context of overall patient care.This text focuses on clinical utility and validity and serves as an “owner’s manual” in Genomic Diagnostics for the practicing pathologist, pathology fellows and residents and other health care providers. Physicians will find this book invaluable as a quick reference for current molecular testing modalities and guidelines, tumor board preparation, deciding which test to order and interpreting genomic laboratory results. In addition, it is an accessible for trainees as a board review preparation reference.

Our genome is the blueprint for our existence: it encodes all the information we need to develop from a single cell into a hugely complicated functional organism. Yet it is more than a static information store: our genome is a dynamic, tightly regulated collection of genes, which switch on and off in many combinations to give the variety of cells from which our bodies are formed. But how do we identify the genes that make up our genome? How do we determine their function? And how do different genes form the regulatory networks that direct the processes of life? Introduction to Genomics is the most up to date and complete textbook for students approaching the subject for the first time. Lesk's engaging writing style brings a narrative to a disparate field of study and offers a fascinating insight into what can be revealed from the study of genomes. The book covers: the similarities and differences between organisms; 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. The Online Resource Center accompanying Introduction to Genomics features: For students: *Extensive and imaginative weblems (web based problems) for each chapter designed to give you practice with the tools required for further study and research in the field*Hints and answers to end of chapter problems and exercises support your self directed learning*Guided tour of websites and major archival databanks in genomics offer a wealth of resources to springboard your own research *Journal club: links to related research articles on topics covered in the book are paired with engaging questions to improve your interpretation of the primary literature*Rotating figures allow you to visualize complex structuresFor instructors: *Downloadable figures from the book.
