(Translational and Applied Genomics) 1st Edition
by Christophe Lambert (Editor), Darrol Baker (Editor), George P. Patrinos (Editor)
Human Genome Informatics: Translating Genes into Health
examines the most commonly used electronic tools for translating
genomic information into clinically meaningful formats. By analyzing and
comparing interpretation methods of whole genome data, the book
discusses the possibilities of their application in genomic and
translational medicine. Topics such as electronic decision-making tools,
translation algorithms, interpretation and translation of whole genome
data for rare diseases are thoroughly explored. In addition, discussions
of current human genome databases and the possibilities of big data in
genomic medicine are presented.
With an updated approach on
recent techniques and current human genomic databases, the book is a
valuable source for students and researchers in genome and medical
informatics. It is also ideal for workers in the bioinformatics industry
who are interested in recent developments in the field.
- Provides an overview of the most commonly used electronic tools to translate genomic information
- Brings an update on the existing human genomic databases that directly impact genome interpretation
