Problems and Solutions for Strachan and Read's Human Molecular Genetics, 2nd Edition

This problems and solutions book, covering the molecular aspects of human genetics, will serve as a companion to the second edition of Strachan and Read's Human Molecular Genetics. There will be 22 chapters divided into seven parts (Fundamentals of genes and chromosomes, Fundamentals of DNA technology, Features of the human genome, Mapping the human genome, Comparative genomics, Human genetic diseases, Dissecting and manipulating genes). Within each chapter, there will be 5 - 10 multi-part open-ended problems, 5-10 review questions, 10 multiple choice questions. Where appropriate bioinformatics questions will also be included.

The book will be heavily illustrated consisting of approximately 100 black and white photos and 200 black and white line drawings that will be designed and formatted similarly to its companion textbook.

While the problems book is intended as a companion to Human Molecular Genetics it can also be used independently from the textbook by both students and instructors. Where most problems books are priced for students we envision that the book will be purchased most frequently by instructors and thus have priced it accordingly. However it still remains within reach for students who can purchase the textbook and problems book for under $100.00.

"Solved problems provide readers with a way to test comprehension of central concepts addressed in each chapter of the main text." (SciTech Book News, March 2001)
