Opis

Since the first edition, published in 2001, genomics research has taken great strides. In this updated second edition, a team of expert researchers share the most current information in a field that has recently switched emphasis from gene identification to functional genomics and the characterization of genes and gene products. This volume approaches its subject with a broad perspective to supply its reader with a vital overview of genomics and its derivative fields.

Recenzje

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The main purpose is to present current protocols in genomic research, and the book provides a comprehensive update on this area of research ... . The book is written primarily for scientists in the field of genomic research. ... presents a good balance between the different aspects involved in the study of functional genomics. It also provides a number of updated protocols for practicing investigators in the field of genomic research. ... a valuable companion to all researchers in the field of genomic research." (Ruben Mestril, Doody's Review Service, January, 2009)
