<p>Ever since the International Human Genome Project achieved its extraordinary goal of sequencing and mapping the entire human genome, represented by approximately 3 billion base pairs, with its far-reaching implications for understanding the causes of human genetic disorders and their diagnosis, progress in the field has not slowed down.</p><p>In the fifth edition of the bestselling<em>Color Atlas of Genetics</em>, readers will be rewarded with a complete and current overview of the field, with an emphasis on the interface between fundamental principles and practical applications in medicine and the role of signaling pathways in causing diseases.</p><p>Using the acclaimed Flexibook format designed for easy visual learning and retention, the atlas is invaluable for students, clinicians, and scientists interested in staying up to date in this fast-evolving area.</p><p>New fully illustrated topics in the revised fifth edition of the atlas include:</p><ul><li>An overview of disorders resulting from structural changes of the genome (genomic disorders)</li><li>Abnormal imprinting patterns</li><li>Examples of impaired signal pathways (laminopathies, fibrillinopathies, cohesinopathies, and others)</li><li>The CRISPR-Cas system</li><li>Genetic features of the aging processes</li><li>Disorders due to rearrangements of chromatin in the cell nucleus, and others</li></ul><p>With almost 200 stunning color plates explained by concise texts on the opposite pages, including tables presenting useful data, a glossary of terms, key references, and online resources, the atlas presents clear and accessible concepts. It is an excellent refresher for investigators in any field of medicine or biology.</p>
