• Sommario/riassunto: Understanding the play between heredity and environment, and relating it to disease causation, is the task of ecogenetics. Gene-Environment Interactions: Fundamentals of Ecogenetics presents the first comprehensive survey of this discipline, reflecting its relationship with toxicology, epidemiology, pharmacology, public health, and other medical and biological fields.Divided into four sections, the text elucidates key basic and advanced topics:* Section 1 covers fundamentals, including the history of the discipline, a discussion of the molecular laboratory tools currently available
