The book does not contain basic genetics and
molecular biology, but rather topics from human genetics mainly from medical
point of views. Some of the 15 chapters deal with medical genetics, but the
chapters also introduce to the basic knowledge of cell division, cytogenetics,
epigenetics, developmental genetics, stem cell biology, oncogenetics,
immunogenetics, population genetics, evolution genetics, nutrigenetics, and to a
relative new subject, the human genomics and its applications for the study of
the genomic background of complex diseases, pharmacogenomics and for the
investigation of the genome environmental interactions.

This lecture note covers the following
topics: Mendelian inheritance, Mendelian genetics, Meiosis and the Chromosome
theory, Gene mapping, Mutations and mutagenesis, Cytogenetics, Gene regulation,
Genetic interaction, Population genetics, Genetic diseases, Developmental
genetics.
This book explains
the following topics: Mendelian analysis, The chromosomal theory of inheritance,
The chromosomal theory of inheritance, Brown Symposium, Chromosome Mutation,
Structure of DNA, Recombinant DNA techniques, Applications of recombinant DNA
techniques, Population genetics and Quantitative genetics.
Advanced Genetics provides an overview of
basic concepts and techniques in genetics and their use in answering fundamental
questions in biology. The lectures focus primarily on studies carried out in
yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila, mouse, and humans to illustrate the power of
genetics as an experimental tool.

Medical genetics involves the
application of genetic principles in the practice of medicine. Medical genetics
encompasses diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, study of inheritance of
diseases in families, mapping of disease genes to their chromosome locations,
study of the molecular genetics and pathogenesis of inherited disorders,
provision of genetic counseling for families, and recently, investigations of
methods for gene therapy. Topics covered includes: Mendelian Genetics, Non-Mendelian
Genetics, Clinical Cytogenetics, Dysmorphology, Genetic Counseling, Prenatal
Diagnosis, Clinical DNA Diagnosis, Cancer Genetics, Problem Solving in Genetics,
Legal and Ethical Issues in Human Genetics.
The textbook Genomes, by Terence A.
Brown, is available online and provides insight into genomics with the
traditional approach to gene expression. The integrated approach of this book
provides a teaching resource for modern molecular biology.

Genes and Disease is an online collection of articles that discuss genes and the
diseases that they cause. These genetic disorders are organized by the parts of
the body that they affect.
Genes and Disease is a collection of
articles that discuss genes and the diseases that they cause. These genetic
disorders are organized by the parts of the body that they affect. As some
diseases affect various body systems, they appear in more than one chapter.
