Book Description
"More than a million people have had their genomes sequenced, most of them since the last edition of this book was published in 2014. When I wrote the first edition, the idea to sequence "the" human genome was just becoming reality. The growing field of genomics, of considering all of our genes, is now revealing that we are much more alike than different, yet those differences among 3 million of our 3.2 billion DNA building blocks hold clues to our variation and diversity. It has been a privilege to chronicle the evolution of human genetics, from an academic subfield of life science and a minor medical specialty to a growing body of knowledge that will affect us all. The twelfth edition opens with the hypothetical "Eve's Genome" and ends with "Do You Want Your Genome Sequenced?" In between, the text touches on what exome and genome sequencing have revealed about single-gene diseases so rare that they affect only a single family to clues to such common and complex conditions as intellectual disability and autism. Exome and genome sequencing are also important in such varied areas as understanding our origins, solving crimes, and tracking epidemics. In short, DNA sequencing will affect most of us. As the cost of genome sequencing plummets, we all may be able to look to our genomes for echoes of our pasts and hints of our futures-if we so choose. We may also learn what we can do to counter our inherited tendencies and susceptibilities. Genetic knowledge is informative and empowering. This book shows you how and why this is true"--

Book Description
The secrets of our genetic heritage are finally being unlocked. The massive scientific effort to sequence the human genome is in fact just the beginning of a long journey as the extraordinary genetic diversity that exists between individuals becomes clear. Work in this field promises much: to understand our evolutionary origins, to define us as individuals, to predict our risk of disease and to more effectively understand, treat and prevent illness. Contemporary genetic research is allowing the basis of both rare inherited disorders and common multifactorial diseases like asthma and diabetes to be more clearly defined. Huge investments are being made and great advances have been achieved, but the challenges remain daunting. This book provides an authoritative overview of this topical and very rapidly advancing field of biomedical research. Human Genetic Diversity describes the major classes of genetic variation and their functional consequences. A combination of cutting-edge research and landmark historical studies illustrate developments in the field, the rationale for current studies and likely future directions. Major structural variants at a chromosomal level are described, as well as copy number variation and sequence level genetic diversity. Evidence of selective pressures in human populations and insights into human evolution are illustrated. The book describes the development of linkage analysis and more recently genome-wide association studies to define the genetic basis of disease, current approaches to defining functional causative variants and the emerging fields of pharmacogenomics and individualised medicine.

Book Description
Based upon archival material newly available to researchers, this study follows the history of the eugenics movement from its roots in late 19th-century social reform to its heyday in the early 1900s as the source of a science of human genetics.

Book Description
This volume investigates human genetic biobanking and its regulation in various Asian countries and areas, including Japan, Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India and Indonesia.. It sheds light on how cultural, socio-political and economic factors influence the set-up of bioethical regulation for human genetic biobanks and how bioethical sensitivities surrounding biobanks are handled. Apart from placing discourses of trust in an international perspective, the comparative materials presented in this volume also put into perspective the concepts of genetic theft and exploitation, and genetic wealth and trust. This collection contains case studies of biobanking practices in societies with different needs and welfare levels, and provides insights into government strategies towards genetic resources by examining bioethics as practised at home.
