Guide to the Human Genome is an essential resource that makes complex genomic information accessible and understandable. Authored by Stewart Scherer, this comprehensive guide presents detailed insights into human genes, their biological roles, and their involvement in various processes. With nearly 300 sections supported by illustrations and tables, the guide covers genes linked to molecular, cellular, developmental, and physiological functions.

The online version offers convenient navigation through a searchable text and features links to detailed information about proteins encoded by over 17,000 known or predicted human genes. Users can explore basic protein characteristics, their relationships to proteins across different species, and access additional resources from NCBI. This guide is particularly beneficial for researchers aiming to connect sequence data with functional information and serves as a valuable complement to traditional educational materials in undergraduate and graduate courses. The guide can be purchased for perpetual online access, with satisfaction guaranteed on individual article purchases. For inquiries, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press provides comprehensive support.
