Human genome informatics: translating genes into health

'Human Genome Informatics' examines the most recent, commonly used electronic tools to translate genomic information into a clinically meaningful format.

By analysing 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 rationalise drug use are thoroughly explored.

In addition, discussions of current human genome databases and the possibilities of big data in genomic medicine are presented.
