Genetechnology book provide a broad, application-oriented overview of DNA and genetic engineering. In addition, the state-of-the-art in DNA's is evaluated equally from a global view by introducing real application scenarios such as genome projects that require the use of a whole set of genetic information. This appears to be an excellent textbook for students, researchers, scientists and geneticists. Key features Theoretical approaches, number of examples and references Provides a broad, application-oriented overview Real application scenarios, such as genome projects that require the use of...

A biomarker is a substance used as an indicator of a biologic state. It is a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention. Biomarker is a parameter that can be used to measure the progress of disease or the effects of treatment. Key features Theoretical approaches, number of examples and references Provides a broad, application-oriented overview Real application scenarios, such as biomarkers projects that require the use of a whole set of drug design tools...

Metabolomics is based on the simultaneous analysis of multiple low-molecular-weight metabolites from a given sample. The goals of metabolomics are to catalog and quantify the myriad small molecules found in biological fluids under different conditions. The metabolomics represents the collection of all metabolites in a biological organism, and metabolic profiling. Key features Theoretical approaches, number of examples and references Provides a broad, application-oriented overview Real application scenarios, such as metabolome projects that require the use of a whole set of drug design tools...

Toxicogenomics is defined as an integration of genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics and Toxicogenomics) and toxicology. It is a scientific field that studies how the genome is involved in responses to environmental stressors and toxicants. It combines studies of mRNA expression, cell and tissue-wide protein expression and metabonomics to understand the role of gene-environment interactions in disease. Key features Theoretical approaches, number of examples and references Provides a broad, application-oriented overview Real application scenarios, such as Toxicogenomics projects that require...
