Stephen Scherer discusses his lifelong passion for science that culminated in his groundbreaking discovery of copy-number variation. This wide-ranging conversation also covers his exciting work in autism research and how copy number variation brings us a deeper understanding of both human variability and disease.This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, More Things in DNA, Horatio..., and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter. Howard Burton was the Founding Director of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and an MA in philosophy. This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a focused yet informal setting to provide a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.Ideas Roadshow Conversations Variation (Biology)Variation (Biology)576.54Burton HowardMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812228303321Our human variability4050256UNINA04845nam 22006735 450 991083100550332120240702115457.09783031481697303148169010.1007/978-3-031-48169-7(MiAaPQ)EBC31106866(Au-PeEL)EBL31106866(MiAaPQ)EBC31132631(Au-PeEL)EBL31132631(OCoLC)1420629748(DE-He213)978-3-031-48169-7(CKB)30316541900041(EXLCZ)993031654190004120240203d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierProfessional Investment Portfolio Management Boosting Performance with Machine-Made Portfolios and Stock Market Evidence /by James W.
