Subject(s):

Genomics

DDC classification:

572.86 LES-I .BI

Contents:

1. Introduction to genomics -- 2. Comparative genomics -- 3. Evolution and genomic change -- 4. Mapping, sequencing, annotation, and databases -- 5. Microarrays -- 6. Proteomics -- 7. Systems biology.

Summary: Introduction to Genomics is a fascinating insight into what can be revealed from the study of genomes: how organisms differ or match; how different organisms evolved; how the genome is constructed and how it operates; and what our understanding of genomics means in terms of our future health and wellbeing.Covering the latest techniques that enable us to study the genome in ever-increasing detail, the book explores what the genome tells us about life at the level of the molecule, the cell, the organism, the ecosystem and the biosphere. Learning features throughout make this book the ideal teaching and learning tool: extensive end of chapter exercises and problems help the student to grasp fully the concepts being presented, while end of chapter WebLems (web-based problems) and lab assignments give the student the opportunity to engage with the subject in a hands-on manner. The field of genomics is enabling us to analyze life in more detail than ever before; Introduction to Genomics is the perfect guide to this enthralling subject.
