| Summary |
"Rigor and Reproducibility in Genetics and Genomics: Peer-reviewed, Published, Cited provides a full methodological and statistical overview for researchers, clinicians, students, and post-doctoral fellows conducting genetic and genomic research. Here, active geneticists, clinicians, and bioinformaticists offer practical solutions for a variety of challenges associated with several modern approaches in genetics and genomics, including genotyping, gene expression analysis, epigenetic analysis, GWAS, EWAS, genomic sequencing, and gene editing. Emphasis is placed on rigor and reproducibility throughout, with each section containing laboratory case-studies and classroom activities covering step-by-step protocols, best practices, and common pitfalls. Specific genetic and genomic technologies discussed include microarray analysis, DNA-seq, RNA-seq, Chip-Seq, methyl-seq, CRISPR gene editing, and CRISPR-based genetic analysis. Training exercises, supporting data, and in-depth discussions of rigor, reproducibility, and ethics in research together deliver a solid foundation in research standards for the next generation of genetic and genomic scientists. Provides practical approaches and step-by-step protocols to strengthen genetic and genomic research conducted in the laboratory or classroom. Presents illustrative case studies and training exercises, discussing common pitfalls and solutions for genotyping, gene expression analysis, epigenetic analysis, GWAS, genomic sequencing, and gene editing, among other genetic and genomic approaches. Examines best practices for microarray analysis, DNA-seq, RNA-seq, gene expression validation, Chip-Seq, methyl-seq, CRISPR gene editing, and CRISPR-based genetic analysis. Written to provide trainees and educators with highly applicable tools and strategies to learn or refine a method toward identifying meaningful results with high confidence in their reproducibility."--ProQuest website |

| Notes |
Douglas F. Dluzen is a geneticist and has previously studied the genetic contributors to aging, drug metabolism, hypertension, and inflammation. Dluzen is particularly interested in how social determinants of health influence gene expression in the immune system. Currently, he is the director of the Professional Development and Career Office at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and has worked previously at the National Institutes of Health and Morgan State University. Monika Schmidt completed her doctoral work in the realm of tandem repeat-associated neuromuscular/neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus upon fragile X syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and DNA metabolism. Monika has a particular interest in wet lab validation of in silico findings, with a penchant for Southern blotting of structurally complex repetitive DNA sequences. Currently, she is a freelance scientific editor, private healthcare liaison, and event organizer |
