Rating:
Summary: An excellent scientific instructional
Review: How The Human Genome Works by Edwin H. McConkey (Professor Emeritus, Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado) is a basic and introductory genetics primer especially written for students of the health sciences. It is a meticulously accurate survey of the natural history of the human genome, including mechanisms of mutation, genetic diseases, the role of the genome in medical practice, and so much more, which will prove fascinating and accessible to non-specialist general readers with an interest in human genetics as well. An excellent scientific instructional, explicit in its point-by-point detail, How The Human Genome Works is a superb introduction to one of the most inherently fascinating and quickly evolving of the biological sciences today.
