Genetics
Medical and Bioscience Students
More than ever, a solid understanding of genetics is a fundamental element of all medical and
scientific educational programs, across virtually all disciplines. And the applications—and implications—
of genetic research are at the heart of current medical scientific debates. Completely updated and
revised, the Color Atlas of Genetics is an invaluable guide for students of medicine and biology,
clinicians, and anyone else interested in this rapidly evolving field.
The latest edition of this highly praised atlas retains several popular features, such as the accessible
layout and logical structure, in addition to many novel features and 18 completely new color plates on
new topics.

CONTENTS
OVERVIEW
TITLE
High quality color plates in classic Thieme Flexibook style, illustrating the most complex
structures and processes in a clear, understandable way and enabling the reader to form a
mental image of the structure and its function.
A comprehensive picture of the field of genetics, from its fascinating history to its most
advanced applications
New topics in this edition include genetic signaling pathways involved in genetic disorders,
DNA repair systems, genomic disorders and genome-wide association studies, cancer
genomes, ciliopathies, neurocristopathies, and other groups of causally related disorders,
epigenetic changes in certain disorders, and an illustrated outline of human evolution.
