This textbook began as a table of contents scribbled on
a cocktail napkin at a publisher’s meeting circa 1990,
when genetics was on the precipice of becoming genomics.
Since then, in addition to clearly explaining the
basics of inheritance, the book has chronicled the beginnings
of genome sequencing, the first clinical trials of
gene therapy, the gradual expansion and explosion of
genetic testing, and now the entrance of DNA information
into our everyday lives.
In the middle editions, focus shifted to humangenetics as the science of our diversity and introduced
consumer DNA testing. That has now detonated as millions
of people spit into tubes and swipe their cheeks to
learn about their health, traits, families, and ancestry. At
the same time, DNA evidence in forensic investigations
has opened up new concerns about genetic privacy.
In 2019, the author learned, out-of-the-blue thanksto consumer DNA testing, of several half-siblings, and
with further information, that she was donor-conceived.
The impact was stunning, but ultimately positive. As a
result, this edition of Human Genetics: Concepts and
Applications has been revised and updated with a new
sensitivity to the power of genetic information, including
a new chapter, “The Genetics of Identity.” It covers
genetic genealogy, privacy, and forensic DNA typing.
