Ova će Vam knjiga pomoći u boljem razumijevanju i primjeni osnovnih principa genetike u kliničkoj praksi.
- strukturirana je u tri dijela: Principi humane genetike, Genetika u medicini i Klinička genetika.
- u knjizi ćete saznati o razvojnoj genetici, genetici raka, prenatalnom testiranju i reprodukcijskoj genetici, »klonalnom« sekvenciranju, itd.
- izgled genetičkih poremećaja prikazuje velik broj slika u boji različitih genetičkih bolesti, pojašnjenih i jasnim dijagramima.
- namijenjena je širem krugu zainteresiranih studenata iz područja medicinskih i prirodnih znanosti kao i specijalistima različitih struka koji će u njoj naći meritoran prikaz suvremenih znanstvenih istraživanja i spoznaja te dijagnostičkih i terapijskih postupaka koji su iz njih proizašli.
This will probably wound like typical rave review, but I don't care. Emery's elements is a lovely book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's very versatile, because it's suitable for students in various phases of their education. It's excellent for undergrads who are attending their first molecular genetics course; grad students will find the book useful for brushing up on the basics (and beyond) of genetics.
That's why the book is cleverly divided into three parts. The first one, "Principles of human genetics", encompasses a standard curriculum of a genetics course for an undergraduate student. The second and third parts, "Genetics in medicine" and "Clinical genetics", are that "beyond" I have mentioned earlier. The book is well-written and easy to follow; there is little need to read a chapter multiple times to catch everything relevant. And as a bonus, the authors can be delightfully witty at appropriate times (i.e. when they are not describing symptoms of nasty hereditary diseases)
All in all, it's a great book, and I highly recommend it to everyone who will have/has had/is interested in molecular genetics.
