Introduction to Human Genetics:

Fundamentals and latest advances

    TARGET AUDIENCE

For all those wishing to be briefed on the fundamentals of human genetics including students and researchers wanting to know more about Mendelian analysis, inheritance, genetic diseases, gene mapping, structure of the genome, mutation and disease, molecular genetics, genetic diagnosis, cytogenetics, human diversity, biochemical genetics and cancer genetics.


    SERIES EDITOR(S)

Dr. Krishna Veeramah - University of California, Los Angeles, USA

Krishna is an Andrew Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Department of History and The Center for Society and Genetics, at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research interests include: human population genetics, anthropological genetics, evolutionary medicine and pharmacogenetics, with particular emphasis on sub-Saharan African populations.
