Biography
Tom Strachan is Emeritus Professor of Human Molecular Genetics at Newcastle University, UK. Together with a former colleague, Andrew Read, he writes the popular Human Molecular Genetics textbook, now in its Fifth Edition.
Anneke Lucassen is Professor of Genomic Medicine and Director of the Centre for Personalised Medicine at the University of Oxford, UK
This excellent book is a must-have for any library, or anyone deeply interested in genetics and genomics in medicine. The writing is detailed yet easily understandable, and readers will come away much more knowledgeable on the
subject. This second edition is a much needed and exceptionally well-executed update to the original version.- Mark F. Sanders, PhD, UC Davis College of Biological Sciences
