About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The study of transcriptomics is key to understanding complex diseases. This new edition will build on the foundation of the first edition while incorporating the progress that has been made in the field of transcriptomics in the past six years, including bioinformatics for data analysis. Written by leading experts, chapters address new subjects such as methodological advances in large-scale sequencing, the sequencing of single-cells, and spatial transcriptomics. The new edition will address how transcriptomics may be used in combination with genetic strategies to identify causative genes in monogenic and complex genetic diseases. Coverage will also explore transcriptomics in challenging groups of diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, bacterial infection, and autoimmune diseases. The updated volume will be useful for geneticists, genome biologists, biomedical researchers, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and students, among others.

About the Author

Geraldo Aleixo Passos received his PhD degree in biochemistry (1988) from Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo, USP, Brazil. His postdoctoral studies were conducted at the Molecular Genetics Institute of Montpellier (CNRS), France (1992-94) with sequencing and physical mapping of the human immunoglobulin lambda locus on chromosome 22q11.2. For several years, he worked in close collaboration with the microarray laboratory at Centre d´Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML, Marseille, France) (1999-2001) and then the Unité INSERM 1090 in Marseille (2002-17) to study the large-scale gene expression in the thymus.  He is currently Associate Professor (Genetics and Molecular Biology) at School of Dentistry and Ribeirão Preto Medical School (USP, Campus of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil) in which he is the coordinator of the Molecular Immunogenetics Group.
