Focus sur les analyses génomiques et leurs enjeux.Une révolution est en marche ! Réalisée en 2003, la première analyse génomique complète a duré 8 ans et coûté un milliard d’euros. Aujourd’hui, une analyse génomique dure deux mois et coûte environ 3000 euros.• Que peuvent prédire...

Bilan historique et génétique du syndrome de Down. La trisomie 21, habituellement nommée syndrome de Down, mais qui en toute équité historique devrait s’appeler syndrome de Seguin-Down-Lejeune, est le mieux connu et un des plus fréquents syndromes génétiques congénitaux du handicap...

Au cœœur des sciences biologiques, la génétique se préoccupe de comprendre le mécanisme de la reproduction biologique, à tous les niveaux où elle se manifeste : individu, cellule, molécule. Mais, plus encore peut-être que par cet objectif, cette discipline est caractérisée par la démarche suivie pour l'atteindre, qui passe toujours par l'étude de...

The authors address in particular the role of hormones and their links with other maternal environmental mediators in developmental programming. The crucial nature of the placenta as an interface and target between maternal and foetal environments is addressed. Emphasis is made on the emerging science...

Polycomb Group Proteins is a comprehensive volume detailing the mechanisms that are key to the management of genome function in many different contexts, from embryonic stem cells to terminal differentiation. The book discusses the regulation of cell lineages, cell proliferation, apoptosis, X chromosome...

This fifth edition of the successful, long-selling classic has been completely revised and expanded, omitting some topics on obsolete DNA electrophoresis, but now with a completely new section on electrophoretic micro-methods and on-the-chip electrophoresis. The text is geared towards advanced students...

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced during pregnancy by the embryo. It promotes progesterone production by corpus luteal cells. It also functions in pregnancy to promote angiogenesis in uterine vasculature, it immuno-blands the invading placental tissue so it is not rejected by the maternal...

Heme oxygenase is rapidly taking its place as the centerpiece of multiple inter­ acting metabolic systems. Only 25 years ago heme oxygenase and its metabolic prod­ ucts appeared to be merely a simple metabolic system-one substrate, heme; one enzyme, heme oxygenase; and one set of products, iron...

In this thesis, Dr. Jin presents the distribution of ancestral chromosomal segments in the admixed genome, which could provide the information needed to explore population admixture dynamics. The author derives accurate population histories of African Americans and Mexicans using genome-wide single...

As recently as the middle of this century, cancer was still a mysterious disease. It seemed to strike with reckless abandon, and once it had gripped its victim, doctors could do little more than relieve the pain, steady the pulse and ease the breathing. It is all too easy now to reflect on this sad...

A brilliant young scientist introduces us to the fascinating field that is changing our understanding of how the body works and the way we can approach healing. SYSTEMATICis the first book to introduce general readers to systems biology, which is improving medical treatments and our understanding...

Translating Regenerative Medicine to the Clinic reviews the current methodological tools and experimental approaches used by leading translational researchers, discussing the uses of regenerative medicine for different disease treatment areas, including cardiovascular disease, muscle regeneration,...
