Ch. I Cytogenetics to Genomics in Cancer Diagnostics / M.R. Kollabattula -- ch. II Evolution of Human Genome Analysis: Impact on Diseases Diagnosis and Molecular Diagnostic Labs / Guy A. Rouleau
Summary
The human genome is the complete set of human genetic information, stored as DNA sequences within the 23 chromosome pairs of the cellnucleus and in a small DNA molecule within the mitochondrion. In this publication, the authors present topical research in the study of the components, structural and functional disorders; and ethical issues of the human genome. Topics discussed include critical events in the pathobiology of cancer and the compilation of major biomarkers enabling improved diagnosis; and the evolution of human genome analysis and its impact on disease diagnosis and molecular diag
