Genetics of Complex Human Diseases: A Laboratory Manual

Edited By Ammar Al-Chalabi, MRC Centre for Neurodegeneration Research, King’s College London; Laura Almasy, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, San Antonio, Texas

© 2009 • 220 pp., illus., index
Hardcover • $162.00 • ISBN 978-087969882-9

Many human diseases—including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, cancer, and cardiovascular disease—show complex inheritance that requires sophisticated analysis. Genetics of Complex Human Diseases: A Laboratory Manual brings together the tools that geneticists use to find disease genes with the genetic concepts and statistical theories that underpin these research approaches. Topics covered include basic genetics and Mendelian inheritance, statistical methods, genetic epidemiology, linkage studies, transmission disequilibrium test analysis, variance components analysis, genome-wide association studies, copy-number variation, methods for high-throughput genotyping, the complexity of RNA editing, and genetic computer programs. The book’s chapters, written by leading investigators in the field, blend practical information and reviews of each topic, providing both the how and the why of complex disease analysis. Genetics of Complex Human Diseases is an important guide for anyone with an interest in human genetics or who uses genetic techniques in the study of diseases with complex inheritance.

George Beadle, An Uncommon Farmer: The Emergence of Genetics in the 20th Century

By Paul Berg, Stanford University School of Medicine; Maxine Singer, Carnegie Institution of Washington

© 2005 • 383 pp., illus., index
Paperback • $21 $10.50 • ISBN 978-087969763-1

George Beadle was a towering scientific figure whose work from the 1930s to 1960 marked the transition from classical genetics to the molecular era. Among other distinctions, he made the pivotal, Nobel Prize–winning discovery with Edward Tatum that the role of genes is to specify proteins. From 1946 to 1960 he led the Caltech Biology Division, rebuilding it to a powerhouse in molecular biology, and afterwards became a successful President of the University of Chicago. This is the first biography of a giant of genetics, written by two of the field's most distinguished contributors, Paul Berg and Maxine Singer.
