"The style of the book and the assortment of topics which are presented make it accessible to a wide range of audiences, from undergraduates to established researchers, and from a variety of backgrounds, biologists, chemists, bioinformaticians. This collection of articles highlighting the state of the art for protein analyses, can also be used as a brief yet thorough starting point for post-graduate projects."

High throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have conquered the genomics and epigenomics worlds. The applications of HTS methods are wide, and can be used to sequence everything from whole or partial genomes, transcriptomes, non-coding RNAs, ribosome profiling, to single-cell sequencing. Having such diversity of alternatives, there is a demand for information by research scientists without experience in HTS that need to choose the most suitable methodology or combination of platforms and to define their experimental designs to achieve their specific objectives.
