Zusatztext Beneficiaries will include not only researchers, students and biomedical professionals but general readers and social scientists wanting to comprehend the personal and social implications of genomic information...an exceptional piece of authorship and publishing. Informationen zum Autor Joel T. Dudley is a veteran bioinformatics and genomics researcher with more than 10 years of professional experience studying the genomic basis of species evolution and human disease. He has published more than 35 peer-review research articles pertaining to personal genomics, genomic medicine, pharmacogenomics, drug discovery, bioinformatics, and evolutionary genomics. Joel is currently the Director of Bioinformatics and Assistant Professor of Genetics and Genomics Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. Joel earned a B.S. in Microbiology from Arizona State University and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University.Konrad J. Karczewski is a genome scientist, bringing systems-level approaches to the study of human disease biology. He was involved with the pioneering course at Stanford University in Personalized Medicine and Genomics, where he led the development of a platform for personal genotype interpretation, the Interpretome. Konrad earned a B.A. in Molecular Biology from Princeton University and a M.S. in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University, where he is working towards a Ph.D. Klappentext This book provides a novel inquiry-based approach to understanding and interpreting the practical, medical, and societal aspects of personal genomic information. It opens with an introduction to genomics and the issues surrounding the use of genomic data, and then discusses the potential applications of this data using real examples and data sets.
