Synopsis

Cytogenomics demonstrates that chromosomes are crucial in understanding the human genome and that new high-throughput approaches are central to advancing cytogenetics in the 21st century. After an introduction to (molecular) cytogenetics, being the basic of all cytogenomic research, this book highlights the strengths and newfound advantages of cytogenomic research methods and technologies, enabling researchers to jump-start their own projects and more effectively gather and interpret chromosomal data. Methods discussed include banding and molecular cytogenetics, molecular combing, molecular karyotyping, next-generation sequencing, epigenetic study approaches, optical mapping/karyomapping, and CRISPR-cas9 applications for cytogenomics. The book’s second half demonstrates recent applications of cytogenomic techniques, such as characterizing 3D chromosome structure across different tissue types and insights into multilayer organization of chromosomes, role of repetitive elements and noncoding RNAs in human genome, studies in topologically associated domains, interchromosomal interactions, and chromoanagenesis. This book is an important reference source for researchers, students, basic and translational scientists, and clinicians in the areas of human genetics, genomics, reproductive medicine, gynecology, obstetrics, internal medicine, oncology, bioinformatics, medical genetics, and prenatal testing, as well as genetic counselors, clinical laboratory geneticists, bioethicists, and fertility specialists.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

A graduate of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen, Germany, Thomas Liehr became head of the Molecular Cytogenetic group at the Institute of Human Genetics in Jena in 1998. He is a molecular cytogeneticist with a research interest and more than 800 publications on inherited and acquired marker and derivative chromosomes, karyotype evolution, epigenetics including uniparental disomy, interphase architecture, heterochromatin, and probe set developments. In addition to being in the Editorial Board of the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, Dr. Liehr is on the Editorial Board of 16 other journals including the European Journal of Medical Genetics (EJMG) and Oncology Letters. Also, he is the Editor of the online journal Molecular Cytogenetics and has edited seven special issues for different journals. He is a past recipient of the Research Award for Young Scientists of the Friedrich-Schiller University, Jena, invited professor and honorary doctor at Yerevan State University, Armenia, and invited professor at Belgrade Medical School, Serbia. Also, he received the Golden Medal of the Yerevan State University in 2014, Golden Medal of the Research Center for Medical Genetics in 2019, and Medal in memory of Prof. Yuri Yurov in 2019 (see also http://cs-tl.de/TL.html).
