Human Genetics focuses on publishing timely articles covering all aspects of human genetics. It covers a broad range of topics from gene structure and organization to genetic epidemiology and ethical, legal, and social issues.
Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.
Human genetics, study of the inheritance of characteristics by children from parents. Human inheritance does not differ in any fundamental way from inheritance in other organisms. An understanding of human heredity is important in the prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that have a genetic component.
This chapter provides fundamental information about basic genetics concepts, including cell structure, the molecular and biochemical basis of disease, major types of genetic disease, laws of inheritance, and the impact of genetic variation.
Human genetics is the study of the human genome and the transmission of genes from one generation to the next. The human genome consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of homologous chromosom...
Journal of Human Genetics, official journal of the Japan Society of Human Genetics, publishes original articles and reviews on all aspects of human genetics, including medical genetics and...
Human genetics, then, is the scientific study of inherited human variation. Why study human genetics? One reason is simply an interest in better understanding ourselves. As a branch of genetics, human genetics concerns itself with what most of us consider to be the most interesting species on earth: Homo sapiens. But our interest in human ...
Systematic genetic mapping in families and populations helped scientists pinpoint the genetic variants that contribute to human disease.
DNA shapes how an organism grows up and the physiology of its blood, bone, and brains. DNA is thus especially important in the study of evolution. The amount of difference in DNA is a test of the difference between one species and another – and thus how closely or distantly related they are.
A primary goal of human genetics is to identify DNA sequence variants that influence biomedical traits, particularly those related to the onset and progression of human disease.
