Summary: "This "User's Guide to the Genetic Past, Present and Future" offers readers an opportunity to learn about how genomes are sequenced, what discoveries have so far come out of this scientific revolution, and about the ethical dimensions of this advancing technology. The revised edition focuses on the new advances in genome technology and builds upon the strong basic biological format that was established in the original publication. "Welcome to the Genome" also takes advantage of the recent major advances in genome level sequencing and analysis to demonstarate the vast increase in biological knowledge over the past decade. Introduces and explains for the non-scientist basic molecular genetic principles, helping readers understand how these principles are shaping the genomic revolution in medicine, evolutionary biology, and conservation biology. Discusses a wide variety of topics within the field, from genetic diversity and genome strucutre to genetic cloning, forensic genetics, conservation genetics and beyond. New to the second edition, now includes sections on next generation technologies such as SOLEXA and 454 sequencing Builds on the first edition by exploring controversial ethical and philosophical issues raised by genomic technology, such as direct-to-consumer genetic testing"-- Provided by publisher.
