3 August 2017 (Thursday) - The Genetics of Disease



The nice people at Wiley sent me an email today updating me on the latest developments in the genetics of disease. I wasn’t expecting it; there were some interesting snippets in there:


Genetics and genomics have become increasingly central to the understanding of disease. In this Annual Review Issue, we have sampled this rapidly expanding field, in a deliberately eclectic fashion; in this way, we illustrate key aspects of the intimate relationship between pathology and genetics, as they relate to many areas of disease.
