Human Genome Informatics: Translating Genes into Health

Human Genome Informatics: Translating Genes into Health examines the most recent and commonly used electronic tools to translate genomic information into a clinically meaningful format. By analyzing and comparing interpretation methods of whole genome data, the book discusses the possibilities of their application in genomic and translational medicine. Topics such as electronic decision-making tools, translation algorithms, interpretation and translation of whole genome data for rare diseases and how to rationalize drug use are thoroughly explored. In addition, discussions of current human genome databases and the possibilities of big data in genomic medicine are presented. With an updated approach on recent techniques and current human genomic databases, the book is a valuable source for students and researchers in genome and medical informatics; it is also ideal for workers in the bioinformatics industry who are interested in recent developments in the field.
