Why are your eyes a different colour from those of your parents? Why do families vary in height? How can diseases be traced through many generations? What is DNA and why did its discovery rock the scientific world? Terms such as "genetic fingerprinting" and "genetic engineering" are frequently used. But a clear explanation of the language of genetics and of the implications behind the advances in its understanding is often difficult to find. The introduction to "Essential Genetics" explodes many of the popular myths that surround this subject. It is followed by a detailed and easy-to-use A-Z section that defines terms, describes how they are applied and makes helpful suggestions for further reading and research. The historical growth of the discipline is charted and contemporary advances explained. Hundreds of cross-references help student and interested amateur alike to explore the complex world of genetics.

This book provides an update on the latest development in the field of microRNAs in cancer research with an emphasis on translational research. Since the early 2000s, microRNAs have been recognized as important and ubiquitous regulators of gene expression. Soon it became evident that their deregulation can cause human diseases including cancer. This book focuses on the emerging opportunities for the application of microRNA research in clinical practice. In this context, computer models are presented that can help to identify novel biomarkers, e.g. in circulating microRNAs, and tools that can help to design microRNA-based therapeutic interventions. Other chapters evaluate the role of microRNAs in immunotherapy, immune responses and drug resistance. Covering key topics on microRNAs in cancer research this book is a valuable resource for both emerging and established microRNA researchers who want to explore the potential of microRNAs as therapeutic targets or co-adjuvants in cancer therapies.

This book provides information on a wide variety of issues ranging from genetics to clinical description of the syndromes, genetic testing and counseling, and clinical management including surveillance, surgical and prophylactic interventions, and chemoprevention. Moreover, current hot issues, such as the identification of novel causal genes and the challenges we face, and the relevance of cancer risk modifiers, both genetic and environmental, are also discussed. This reference book is great for geneticists, oncologists, genetic counselors, researchers, clinicians, surgeons and nurses dedicated to, or interested in, hereditary cancer. The best and most recognized experts in the field have contributed to this project, guaranteeing updated information, accuracy and the discussion of topical issues.

Hoe de menselijke genetica ook jouw leven zal veranderenEen halve eeuw geleden al huppelden de eerste mensen op de Maan, maar pas de jongste jaren geeft ons DNA zijn geheimen prijs. De ene doorbraak volgt de andere in sneltempo op en het gaat zo hard dat de wetgeving hopeloos achterophinkt. Gelukkig is Lieven Scheire wel mee met de laatste ontwikkelingen. Niet alleen maakt de wetenschapscomedian de nieuwste inzichten in het DNA-onderzoek aanschouwelijk, Scheire werpt ook de vraag op wat we daar nu eigenlijk mee zijn.De eerste genetisch gemanipuleerde mens is intussen geboren, maar zou u uw eigen kind genetisch laten aanpassen? Zo kunt u zware ziektes voorkomen en meteen kunt u uw kind ook wat extra talenten toestoppen. Moet de politie toegang krijgen tot het DNA van burgers? U kunt vrezen voor een politiestaat, maar nieuwe DNA-technieken werpen wel nieuw licht op moordzaken die lange tijd onopgelost bleven. Laat u uw DNA uitlezen voor stamboomonderzoek? Prima, maar dan achterhaalt u mogelijk een vervelende waarheid over de huwelijkse trouw van uw grootmoeder.Heel binnenkort wordt er zeer veel mogelijk en we moeten stilaan nadenken over de beslissingen die we moeten nemen. Lieven Scheire werpt een blik vooruit naar de nabije toekomst en u mag zelf beslissen of die toekomst u hoopvol of angstig stemt. Ondertussen kunt u wel uitpakken met honderden razend interessante weetjes over ons DNA.(https://borgerhoff-lamberigts.be/boeken/dna)
