Description of Vogel and Motulsky's Human Genetics 4th Edition (PDF)
Vogel and Motulsky's Human Genetics 4th Edition by M. R.Speicher, S. E. Antonarakis & A. G. Motulsky is a great book, available in PDF download. The fi rst edition of Human Genetics, Problems and Approaches , was published in 1970 by human geneticists Friedrich Vogel and Arno Motulsky as sole authors. The aim was broad coverage and in-depth analysis of both medical and human genetics with an emphasis on problems and approaches with occasional historical comments. This point of view was fully explained in an introductory chapter of the three previous editions (1970, 1976, 1997). The book acquired an excellent reputation as an advanced text of human genetics and has been translated into Italian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and Portuguese. Our general aims for the fourth edition remain similar and together with novel developments are now set out in the Introduction of this new 4th edition.
An outline of the fourth edition’s contents was developed and various internationally known geneticists, including the new editors, were selected to write the individual chapters. The resultant titles are listed in the table of contents. Most chapters are entirely new, while only three chapters (1, 5, and 6 ) utilize the third edition with appropriate, up-to-date revisions. Entirely new chapters include the description of the human genome, epigenetics, pharmacogenetics, genetic epidemiology, human evolution, genetics of mental retardation, autism, alcoholism and other addictions, consanguinity and related matters, gene therapy, cloning and genetic aspects of global health. Multiple chapters of various animal models used in the study of human and medical genetics are novel as are Databases and Genome Browsers as well as Databases Used in Human and Medical Genetics.
The final content of the book was the result of many e-mails and conference calls. This new, updated, and totally revised edition does not contain some important and historically interesting chapters on certain topics. These can be found in the 3rd edition of the book published in 1997, which was exclusively authored by F. Vogel and A.G. Motulsky.
