商品描述

GWAS: The Rise of Hypothesis-Free Biomedical Science: Could Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Transform Modern Medicine? focuses on the ideas that surround genome-wide association studies. Starting with the Human Genome Project in 2000, this book discusses how GWAS are finding the genes that underlie diseases by applying novel technologies and hypothesis-free science.

Every new piece of information or technology has reshaped and changed the ideas addressed, leading to improved studies. In addition, the book also tracks down how results were generated and gathered, and the unique picture they are generating in our understanding of the genetic basis of human disease.

The central theme of the book focuses on the development of ideas starting from The Human Genome Project in 2000, as they continually evolve in response to the results obtained through the application of GWAS on real data. While short, this book will guide readers through the turbulent and exciting history that has transformed biomedical science from the inside out.

  • Offers a knowledgeable review of the field in a longitudinal way, focusing on how to map a gene's underlying diseases using novel technologies
  • Presents key additional information, discoveries, and technological progress, year-by-year, starting from The Human Genome Project in 2000
  • Offers the greatest possible understanding of GWAS’ history and development in a concise format
  • Provides the minimum essential technical knowledge that is necessary to understand the ideas behind GWAS

商品描述(中文翻譯)

GWAS:假說自由生物醫學科學的興起:基因組廣泛關聯研究(GWAS)能否改變現代醫學? 本書聚焦於圍繞基因組廣泛關聯研究的理念。自2000年人類基因組計畫開始以來,本書討論了GWAS如何透過應用新技術和假說自由的科學來發現與疾病相關的基因。

每一項新資訊或技術都重塑並改變了所探討的理念,導致研究的改進。此外,本書還追蹤了結果的生成和收集過程,以及它們在我們理解人類疾病的遺傳基礎上所產生的獨特圖景。

本書的核心主題集中於自2000年人類基因組計畫以來,理念的發展如何隨著GWAS在實際數據上應用所獲得的結果不斷演變。雖然篇幅不長,但本書將引導讀者穿越這段動盪而激動人心的歷史,這段歷史從內部改變了生物醫學科學。


  • 以縱向的方式提供該領域的知識性回顧,專注於如何利用新技術繪製基因的潛在疾病圖譜

  • 逐年呈現關鍵的附加資訊、發現和技術進展,自2000年人類基因組計畫開始

  • 以簡明的格式提供對GWAS歷史和發展的最大理解

  • 提供理解GWAS背後理念所需的最基本技術知識
