About this listen

With rapid advances in genomic technologies, genetic testing has become a key part of both clinical practice and research. Scientists are constantly discovering more about how genetics plays a role in health and disease, and healthcare providers are using this information to more accurately identify their patients' particular medical needs. Genetic information is also increasingly being used for a wide range of non-clinical purposes, such as exploring one's ancestry.

This new edition of Genetics for Dummies serves as a perfect course supplement for students pursuing degrees in the sciences. It also provides science lovers of all skill levels with easy-to-follow and easy-to-understand information about this exciting and constantly evolving field. This edition includes recent developments and applications in the field of genetics, such as:

  • Whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing
  • Precision medicine and pharmacogenetics
  • Direct-to-consumer genetic testing for health risks
  • Ancestry testing

Featuring information on some of the hottest topics in genetics right now, this book makes it easier than ever to wrap your head around this fascinating subject.

Pretty interesting but stretched out a bit
I need to fill the word count

I got this because I genuinely wanted to learn about Genetics!
The Content is quite good and the topic could be very interesting but the way it is read is mind numbingly boring! Either it is computer generated or the reader is simply very boring. The way she reads (If it IS a person), makes it seem like punctuation is all over the place.
I got a quarter of the way through but had to give up. The actual book itself might be worth getting but the audio version really is bad. Don't bother
