Leon Rosenberg: Qsite for Human Genes and Genomes, 1e

Welcome to the website for Rosenberg, Rosenberg: Human Genes and Genomes: Science, Health, Society.

“. . . a beautifully written and insightful genetics book that hits all the right notes. Major principles are illustrated in the context of real disease, both Mendelian and complex, which keeps the relevance high.”
- Michael J. Dougherty, PhD, Director of Education, American Society of Human Genetics

“This thoughtful and scholarly book, teaching about common traits and rare inherited disorders, is beautifully written and accessible to science students and non-science students alike.”
- Margretta Seashore, MD, Director, Genetic Consultation Service and Director, Biochemical Disease Detection Laboratory Department of Laboratory Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine

“A master story teller and one of the founders of the field, Rosenberg tells the story of human genetics as few others can – anchored in history but with a fresh eye towards what the study of the human genome teaches us about genes and their importance for both biology and medicine.”
- Huntington F. Willard, PhD, Director, Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, Duke University

We are pleased to present this site to complement the beautiful text which has been prepared by Dr. Leon Rosenberg and Diane Drobnis Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg and Diane have worked hard to gather the latest information on human genes and genomes and present it in this ideal teaching book. Please take the time to explore the site where you can find the artwork in PDF and PowerPoint, links to helpful websites in the field, links to valuable references which are also listed in the book and information about the authors.

This book provides the foundational knowledge for a field which is constantly changing. With this in mind, ‘Important Updates in Genetics and Genomics’ are featured on the website. Navigating to this tab will provide you with links to and commentary on the latest scientific literature and the authors’ commentary on the literature. This feature will be updated on a regular basis.
