The Encyclopedia of the Human Genome (EHG) is devoted to the scientific basis of human genetics and genomics research and its ethical, philosophical, and commercial ramifications. Presenting a comprehensive and rigorously detailed overview of current research and its groundbreaking applications, this major reference work examines many peripheral topics surrounding the field such as law, ethics, medicine and public health, history, religion and industry.

The Encyclopedia of the Human Genome (EHG) includes:

- 5 Volumes
- 5,000 pages – 3 million words
- 1,047 original, peer-reviewed articles
- Contributions from 1,400 of the world's leading experts
- 1,500 illustrations

Über Autor(innen)

David N. Cooper has been Professor of Human Molecular Genetics at Cardiff University since 1996. His research interests focus largely on molecular mechanisms of mutagenesis and genotype-phenotype relationships in a variety of different inherited disorders, population genetics, gene expression, cancer genetics, growth hormone genetics, and molecular evolution.
