Con el pasar de los años, la importancia de conocer el genoma humano se ha vuelto incuestionable, tanto en la carrera de medicina como en la práctica médica. Todas las especialidades de la medicina son hoy deudoras de los conocimientos de la Genetica, y la enseñanza de las materias basicas esta cada dia mas fundamentada en conceptos de esta disciplina.Esta nueva edicion da cuenta de los cambios producidos desde su ultima publicacion y abarca los adelantos en las tecnicas moleculares, la nueva apreciacion de los ARN no codificantes, los estudios de asociacion de enfermedades con marcadores y desarrollos en la comprension de la patogenia de muchas afecciones.Entre sus caracteristicas sobresalientes se destacan:-Una revision y actualizacion de los contenidos junto con la inclusion de los ultimos avances en estudios geneticos.-Nuevos capitulos sobre Genetica del desarrollo embrionario y cliopatias, Aberraciones cromosomicas estructurales y sindrome del x fragil y Aspectos eticos, sociales y legales en genetica humana.-Paneles con datos importantes que complementan la informacion de los capitulos.-Un glosario con los terminos esenciales y apendices con advertencias para adquirir informacion adicional a traves de Internet, la nomenclatura internacional de los genes humanos y las reglas de nomenclatura para las mutaciones y la citogenetica humana.Se ha priorizado el tratamiento de los nuevos topicos y conceptos propios de estos ultimos años antes que el detalle de la genetica de tejidos y procesos especiales. De esta manera se ha incorporado la descripcion de los nuevos adelantos en las tecnicas moleculares de la Genetica, la nueva apreciacion de los ARN no codificantes, los estudios de asociacion de enfermedades con marcadores, y los adelantos en la comprension de la patogenia de muchas enfermedades, incluyendo las ciliopatias geneticas, las microdeleciones y la infertilidad genetica.Con quince años de trayectoria en el mercado, esta cuarta edicion constituye un texto agil y practico que brindara al estudiante y al profesional los conceptos basicos fundamentales de la Genetica Humana actual.

This impressive author team brings the wealth of advances in conservation genetics into the new edition of this introductory text, including new chapters on Population Genomics and Genetic Issues in Introduced and Invasive Species. They continue the strong learning features for students - main points in the margin, chapter summaries, vital support with the mathematics, and further reading - and now guide the reader to software and databases. Many new references reflect the expansion of this field. With examples from mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, plants and invertebrates, this is an ideal introduction to conservation genetics for a broad audience. The text tackles the quantitative aspects of conservation genetics, and has a host of pedagogy to support students learning the numerical side of the subject. Combined with being up-to-date, its user-friendly writing style and first-class illustration programme forms a robust teaching package.

The biological diversity of our planet is being depleted due to the direct and indirect consequences of human activity. As the size of animal and plant populations decrease, loss of genetic diversity reduces their ability to adapt to changes in the environment, with inbreeding depression an inevitable consequence for many species. This textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the importance of genetic studies in conservation. The text is presented in an easy-to-follow format with main points and terms clearly highlighted. Each chapter concludes with a concise summary, which, together with worked examples and problems and answers, emphasise the key principles covered. Text boxes containing interesting case studies and other additional information enrich the content throughout, and over 100 beautiful pen and ink portraits of endangered species help bring the material to life. Written by internationally recognised authorities in the discipline Easy-to-follow format includes chapter summaries, worked examples and problems and solutions to aid revision Numerous textboxes containing additional material enrich the text throughout Beautifully illustrated with over 200 specially commissioned pen and ink portraits of endangered or threatened species

Introducing Proteomics gives a concise and coherent overview of every aspect of current proteomics technology, which is a rapidly developing field that is having a major impact within the life and medical sciences.This student-friendly book, based on a successful course developed by the author, provides its readers with sufficient theoretical background to be able to plan, prepare, and analyze a proteomics study.The text covers the following:Separation TechnologiesAnalysis of Peptides/Proteins by Mass SpectrometryStrategies in Proteomics

Van Cleve, John VickreyDrawn from the Genetics, Disability and Deafness Conference at Gallaudet University in 2003, this trenchant volume brings together 13 essays from science, history, and the humanities, history and the present, to show the many ways that disability, deafness, and the new genetics interact and what that interaction means for society. Pulitzer-prize-winning author Louis Menand begins this volume by expressing the position shared by most authors in this wide-ranging forumthe belief in the value of human diversity and skepticism of actions that could eliminate it through modification of the human genome. Nora Groce creates an interpretive framework for discussing the relationship between culture and disability. From the historical perspective, Brian H. Greenwald comments upon the real toll taken by A. G. Bells insistence upon oralism, and Joseph J. Murray recounts the 19th century debate over whether deaf-deaf marriages should be encouraged. John S. Schuchmans chilling account of deafness and eugenics in the Nazi era adds wrenching reinforcement to the impetus to include disabled people in genetics debates. Mark Willis illustrates the complexity of genetic alterations through his reaction to his own genetic makeup, in that he is happy to combat his heart disease with genetic tools but refuses to participate in studies about his blindness, which he considers a rich variation in human experience. Anna Middleton describes widely reported examples of couples attempting to use genetic knowledge and technology both to select for and against a gene that causes deafness. Chapters by Orit Dagan, Karen B. Avraham, Kathleen S. Arnos, and Arti Pandya elucidate the promise of current research to clarify the complexity and choices presented by breakthroughs in genetic engineering. In his essay on the epidemiology of inherited deafness, geneticist Walter E. Nance emphasizes the importance of science in offering individuals knowledge from which they can fashion their own decisions. Christopher Krentz reviews past and contemporary fictional accounts of human alteration that raise moral questions about the ever-continuing search for human perfection. Michael Berube concludes this extraordinary collection with his forceful argument that disability should b

Everything a student needs to know about medical genetics is here in the 15th edition of this award-winning textbook. Thoroughly updated and revised throughout to map a fast-moving area, the 15th edition continues Emery's enviable reputation for successfully balancing up-to-dateness in a rapidly developing field with a strong basis in practical clinical genetics for medical students. With MCQs and Case-Based Review Questions, end of chapter summaries and convenient online access, it is the essential tool for this complex but foundational topic for all medical undergraduates, as well as postgraduates seeking to improve their understanding and knowledge.
