Human Molecular Genetics is an established and class-proven textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students which provides an authoritative and integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics. While maintaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the Fourth Edition has been completely updated. It includes new Key Concepts at the beginning of each chapter and annotated further reading at the conclusion of each chapter, to help readers navigate the wealth of information in this subject. The text has been restructured so genomic technologies are integrated throughout, and next generation sequencing is included. Genetic testing, screening, approaches to therapy, personalized medicine, and disease models have been brought together in one section. Coverage of cell biology including stem cells and cell therapy, studying gene function and structure, comparative genomics, model organisms, noncoding RNAs and their functions, and epigenetics have all been expanded. Review: Fabulous - I am a geneticist and an undergraduate level professor. I absolutely love this book. It is so clearly written, up to date and full of references, so it feels more like a review (which I hope more science undergrad texts would do). It also contains great examples and illustrations that make it easy to follow the content. I don't think I would be able to use this book for my sophomore genetics class, but this would be an excellent addition to anyone taking an advanced molecular genetics class or related courses in grad school. Review: human molecular genetics book - I already knew this book since my human genetics exam at the University. I used to study on the 2nd edition. I did not like it very much because it was a bit confusing with a lot of info spread in the various chapters of the book. You could not study on it without an help of the teacher.. This edition is much better!! Clearer and better organized !!! I am studying now on it and I found it really pleasant.. Really a good deal and worth it for the price.

rarely have I actually opened a text book
Rarely do I make use of a textbook (what do professors think Google is for?), but this book is phenomenally written. It's both informative and an easy read. If anyone is looking for a human genetics text (anything post intro genetics level), I highly recommend this book.

Excellent molecular genetics bible
This is the absolute reference book for anyone who wants to get an in depth but at the same time accessible textbook on molecular genetics, whether one is from a biological or medical background.

Absulut empfehlenswert
Wer "Molecular Biology of the Cell" von Bruce Albert kennt, kennt bereits den Verlag Garland Science. Der Aufbau des Buches (Schriftart, Art der Abbildungen, Papierart, Einband,...) ähneln einander sehr. Ich persönlich finde die übersichtlichen, farbigen Grafiken sehr angenehm, da sie das besprochene gut wiedergeben und ergänzen ohne zusätzlich zu verwirren. Auch die Einbindung der Abbildung in den Text ist nicht zu bemängeln. Inhaltlich ist es gut gegliedert. Uuch werden nicht nur die Molekularbiologischen Grundlagen (so weit bereits bekannt), sondern auch die für viele unbeliebten Statistischen Methoden erklärt und anhand von Beispielen kurz erläutert. Des weiteren gibt es einem - für meinen geschmack noch etwas zu kleinen, aber vollständigen - Einblick in die wichtigsten Methoden der Molekularen Humangenetik. Insgesamt liefert das Buch für den aufmerksamen Leser einen tiefen Einblick in die Molekularen Mechanismen der Humangenetik. Für den strebsamen leser sind weiterhin am Ende jedes Kapitels noch Literaturvorschläge für "Further Reading" angegeben. Die Sprache ist - nicht zuletz dank der vielen mit dem englisch identischen Fachbegriffe für Naturwissenschaftler gut zu verstehen. Auch dem Einsteiger ohne viel Vorkenntnisse widmet sich das Buch mit einem allgemeinen einführenden Kapitel in welchem nochmals die wichtigsten Biochemischen und Biologischen Grundlagen dargestellt sind. Tom Starchan und Andrew Read schaffen es über das Thema Molekulare Humangenetik in einfacher sprache aber doch nicht einseitig zu schreiben. Sie schaffen so nicht nur eine angenehme Grundlage zum Arbeiten/ Lernen sondern regen durch ihren Sprachstil auch zum Blättern und weiter lesen an. Ich würde dieses Buch jedem empfehlen, der sich in irgend einer Weise tiefer mit Molekularer Humangenetik beschäftigen will/muss - auch wenn man noch nicht viel Erfahrung mit englischer Literatur hat. Ich selbst würde es jedem Empfehlen.

ヒトの分子遺伝学の定本
この本もついに4版を重ね、内容的には安定してとてもよい本だと思う。 また英文は平易で読みやすいので、遺伝学、医学を志す学生にもおすすめ。 ただ心なしか初版のころの勢いが感じられず、「Molecular biology of the cell」と内容的に重複する点が多くなっているのが残念である。 1年程度で日本語訳も出るので、それをまってもよいかもしれない。

Ottimo
Chiaro e completo. COnoscevo gia' il libro nell'edizione precedente ed ho trovato delle modifiche molto mirate ed accurate. Lo consiglierei a chi vuole approfondire la genetica molecolare. I riferimenti a fine capitolo sono stati d'aiuto.

This book is about Human Genetics, follows HMG3 and HMG2 before that.
Got it for a student. Its about 5 or 6 years old now; tends to get into a bit too much detail; earlier editions were better for students of the basics. A lot of the techniques that you can spend a lot of time on learning are out of date. But a good book for $55.00. Doesn't go into reams of plant genetics, but sticks to humans, human diseases, etc.

This book is great. Bought it for the Genomic Medicine MSc
This book is great. Bought it for the Genomic Medicine MSc, but actually as a Clinical Genetics trainee- it is pretty essential. Really useful for getting to grips with the basic science bits of EVERYTHING genetics related- especially processes that underpin research methodologies like functional studies, linkage studies, autozygosity mapping etc.
