This is a very well written book about Genomics in clinical medicine. The thorough explanations and background that it gives makes it easy to read/understand whether you're someone with a science or medical background or just someone who happens to be curious about genetics...very insightful!

I found this book to be a wonderful introduction to both the human genome and the world of public health. I appreciated the fact that is written for both the science and non science mind. This book sparked my interest in public health and for that I am grateful.
