Principles of Genetics and Molecular Epidemiology
Editors: Juan Carlos Gomez-Verjan, Nadia Alejandra Rivero-Segura
Quality: Black White Pakistan Print
Introduction
Principles of Genetics and Molecular Epidemiology edited by Juan Carlos Gomez-Verjan and Nadia Alejandra Rivero-Segura explores the intersection of genetics and epidemiology, focusing on how genetic variations influence the spread, impact, and treatment of diseases in populations. The book covers fundamental concepts of genetics, molecular biology, and epidemiology, while integrating cutting-edge research on genomic medicine, population genetics, and disease susceptibility. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it examines how genetic and environmental factors interact to shape disease patterns and health outcomes, providing insights into the prevention and management of genetic and infectious diseases.
Key Points
-
Fundamentals of Genetics and Molecular Biology
- Explains the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and proteins, along with the principles of gene expression and regulation.
-
Molecular Tools in Epidemiology
- Describes genetic testing techniques such as PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) used in epidemiological research.
-
Gene-Environment Interactions
- Explores how genetic predispositions and environmental factors like diet, pollution, and lifestyle contribute to disease susceptibility and progression.
-
Genomics and Disease Susceptibility
- Analyzes the role of genetic variation in the development of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and infectious diseases.
-
Applications in Public Health and Precision Medicine
- Discusses how molecular epidemiology informs public health strategies, including targeted screening, early diagnosis, and personalized treatments.
Why Read This Book
