Henry H. Heng – författare

Genome Chaos: Rethinking Genetics, Evolution, and Molecular Medicine transports readers from Mendelian Genetics to 4D-genomics, building a case for genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, and positing that the genome, rather than individual genes, defines system inheritance and represents a clear unit of selection for macro-evolution. In authoring this thought-provoking text, Dr. Heng invigorates fresh discussions in genome theory and helps readers reevaluate their current understanding of human genetics, evolution, and new pathways for advancing molecular and precision medicine.

Bridges basic research and clinical application and provides a foundation for re-examining the results of large-scale omics studies and advancing molecular medicine Gathers the most pressing questions in genomic and cytogenomic research Offers alternative explanations to timely puzzles in the field Contains eight evidence-based chapters that discuss 4d-genomics, genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, genome chaos and macro-cellular evolution, evolutionary cytogenetics and cancer, chromosomal coding and fuzzy inheritance, and more

Genome Chaos: Rethinking Genetics, Evolution, and Molecular Medicine, Second Edition transports readers from Mendelian genetics to 4D genomics, building a case for genes and genomes as distinct biological entities where the genome, rather than individual genes, defines system-level inheritance and represents a clear unit of selection for macroevolution. In this thought-provoking text, Dr. Henry Heng invigorates fresh discussions in Genome Architecture Theory and helps readers reevaluate their current understanding of human genetics, evolution, and new pathways for advancing molecular and precision medicine.In this timely new edition, Dr. Heng fully embraces the integration of system information with genome-mediated evolutionary mechanisms, and supports this framework with recent findings and growing, interdisciplinary research. Ten evidence-based chapters discuss 4D genomics, genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, genome chaos and cellular macroevolution, karyotype coding and fuzzy inheritance, as well as an entirely novel model of evolution driven by information flow, and more. Brand-new chapters consider the creation and maintenance of system information for complexity and biodiversity, as well as modes of analyzing information-based and historically contingent evolutionary framework. This synthesis offers a revolutionary paradigm of evolutionary theory. It also hypothesizes about how information flow, matter arrangement, and energy interact. - Bridges basic research and clinical applications, providing a foundation for re-examining the results of large-scale -omics studies and precision medicine- Gathers the most pressing questions in genomics, cytogenomics, and evolution- Proposes a novel genome and information-based evolutionary theory that unites the study of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms within organismal systems- Contains ten evidence-based chapters that discuss karyotype coding, function of sex, natural information self-creation, and evolution as platform for both innovation and conservation

This detailed volume explores the frontiers of this new era in cancer cytogenetics and cytogenomics, focusing on establishing a karyotype as an information-based genomic framework, as well as presenting technological platforms for collecting and analyzing data at the genome level. It begins with several conceptual chapters that introduce ideas such as the Genome Architecture Theory, forcefully emphasizing the importance of cytogenomics in the post-genomics era. The book then proceeds with protocols covering both basic and advanced cytogenetic and cytogenomic methods, as well as diverse experiments beyond traditional cytogenetic platforms, and bioinformatics techniques and resources. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and up-to-date, Cancer Cytogenetics and Cytogenomics: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide to the unique power of this area of research in spatial biology and system-integrated genomics.
