Genomes 5

Genomes 5

Genomes 5 has been completely revised and updated. It is a thoroughly modern textbook about genomes and how they are investigated. As with previous Genomes editions techniques come first then genome anatomies followed by genome function and finally genome evolution. The genomes of all types of organism are covered: viruses bacteria fungi plants and animals including humans and other hominids. Genome sequencing and assembly methods have been thoroughly revised to include new developments in long-read DNA sequencing. Coverage of genome annotation emphasizes genome-wide RNA mapping with CRISPR-Cas 9 and GWAS methods of determining gene function covered. The knowledge gained from these techniques forms the basis of the chapters that describe the three main types of genomes: eukaryotic prokaryotic (including eukaryotic organelles) and viral (including mobile genetic elements). Coverage of genome expression and replication is truly genomic concentrating on the genome-wide implications of DNA packaging epigenome modifications DNA-binding proteins non-coding RNAs regulatory genome sequences and protein-protein interactions. Also included are examples of the applications of metabolomics and systems biology. The final chapter is on genome evolution including the evolution of the epigenome using genomics to study human evolution and using population genomics to advance plant breeding. Established methods of molecular biology are included if they are still relevant today and there is always an explanation as to why the method is still important. Genomes 5 is the ideal text for upper-level courses focused on genomes and genomics.

Dopamine - Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia

Dopamine - Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia

The basal ganglia are involved in complex brain functions from voluntary movement control to learning and reward processing and they are implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders. Information from the cerebral cortex and thalamus is conveyed to basal ganglia nuclei via glutamate release while dopamine from the midbrain is released in close proximity to glutamate. At the heart of both function and dysfunction of basal ganglia circuits is the interaction of these two neurotransmitters dopamine and glutamate. Elucidating the relationship between their molecular and cellular effects and behavioural significance has been challenging but in the past 5–10 years improved labeling imaging recording and genetic manipulation approaches have yielded new information on how dopamine and glutamate interact to generate the circuit activity underpinning basal ganglia function. Dopamine–Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia synthesizes this recent research from the level of receptor molecules all the way to complex behaviours and disease. Current insights from research on individual neurons and synapses detailed circuit analysis and learning and action functions of the basal ganglia are presented against a historical perspective. The book also discusses compromised dopamine–glutamate interaction in disorders of basal ganglia function including Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease and drug addiction. | Dopamine - Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia

Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Diseases

Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Diseases

The establishment of precise and reliable biomarker tests for the early stages of cardiovascular disease is of great importance and can be the cornerstone in the prevention of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Furthermore some biomarkers may provide important information concerning the pathogenesis of CVD or appear to be useful in risk stratification in CVD diagnosis or in monitoring therapy; many others may be risk factors themselves representing therefore potential targets of therapy. The ideal biomarker should have the following characteristics: highly sensitive specific reliable accessible standardized dependable cost effective and easily interpretable by clinicians. The present book focuses on the presentation and evaluation of the most promising classical and novel biochemical markers used in CVD (coronary artery disease hypertension heart failure hyperlipidemia peripheral arterial disease). The underlying pathophysiological characteristics of each biomarker as well as potential clinical implications in daily practice are reviewed in this book. | Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Diseases

Decision Making in Risk Management Quantifying Intangible Risk Factors in Projects

Decision Making in Risk Management Quantifying Intangible Risk Factors in Projects

Project risk management is regarded as a necessary dimension of effective project delivery. Current practices tend to focus on tangible issues such as late delivery of equipment or the implications of technology. This book introduces a framework to identify emergent behavior-centric intangible risks and the conditions that initiate them. Decision Making in Risk Management: Quantifying Intangible Risk Factors in Projects identifies the quantitative measures to assess behavior-induced risks by presenting a framework that limits the interpersonal tension of addressing behavioral risks. Included in the book is an illustrative case study from the oil and gas sector that demonstrates the use of the framework. The missing dimension of behavior-centric intangible risk factors in current risk identification is explored. The book goes on to cover management processes providing a systematic analytical approach to mitigate subjectivity when addressing behavioral risks in projects. This book is useful to those working in the fields of Project Management Systems Engineering Risk Management and Behavioral Science. | Decision Making in Risk Management Quantifying Intangible Risk Factors in Projects
