Human Genomics

The branch of science concerned with the evolution, structure, mapping, function and editing of genomes is known as genomics. The complete set of DNA of an organism, including all its genes is called a genome. Human genome refers to the set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA, in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria and 23 chromosome pairs in the cell nuclei. The human genome may be separated into the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome. Human genome includes both noncoding DNA and protein-coding DNA genes. The topics included in this book on human genomics are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of human genomics and related fields. Scientists, researchers and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
