Analysis of Human Genomics

Genes are the determiners of human-inherited traits. The study of the human genome provides a way to understand diseases. Genetic tests can be performed to evaluate genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria, etc. The field of clinicogenomics is widely being used for personalized medicine such as oncogenomics and pharmacogenomics. It studies the entire human genome, thus allowing the detection of a wide number of mutations and structural anomalies. The future of human genomics holds immense potential as individuals may be sequenced at birth and also periodically throughout their lives to detect potential health risks. Thus, individuals will be able to change their lifestyles and behavior to minimize their predisposition to diseases. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of human genomics. It elucidates new techniques and the applications of human genomics in a multidisciplinary manner. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
