Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This new book explains the basics of DNA and genetics in the contexts of health, physical activity and sport. Very practical information is provided, for example the first questions that anyone should ask when preparing to study genetics, how to use online tools to search existing research literature and how to identify and select candidate genes using genome databases. This book will provide updates on current research findings and discussions of how genetics may be incorporated into clinical practice and sport performance training.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stephen Roth, Ph.D., has extensive training in both exercise science and human genetics and maintains a research programme dedicated to understanding the role of genetics in the contexts of ageing, health and exercise. He completed his doctoral degree in 2000 at the University of Maryland in Kinesiology, specialising in the influence of strength training on ageing skeletal muscle. Dr. Roth then moved to the University of Pittsburgh where he completed extensive post-doctoral training in human genetics.
