Genomics is the study of the genomes of organisms. The field includes intensive efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. It is a discipline in genetics that applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the function and structure of genomes. Genomics I - Humans, Animals and Plants is the first volume of our Genomics series. There are totally three volumes in this series.
Chapter 1 describes the development of a unique nascent DNA enrichment peak detection algorithm which...

A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a vaccine is "an antigenic substance prepared from the causative agent of a disease or a synthetic substitute, used to provide immunity against one or several diseases''. A vaccine tries to stimulates our immune system to recognize certain types of bacteria and viruses by injecting a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure to our body but is incapable of causing severe infection.

Cancer is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth, in which cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, and invade nearby parts of the body. Cancer may also spread to different parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the bloodstream. The Research and Biology of Cancer discusses some recent advances in cancer research. There are totally two volumes: Volume I mainly discusses the roles of some important enzymes and proteins in cancers, whereas Volume II discusses different types of cancers, including head and neck cancer, oral cancer,...

Chapter 1 is a review of the bioinformatics literature on protein-protein interactions (PPIs). A protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) is a collection of PPIs, often deposited in online databases. PPINs may complement other datasets, such as protein structural information.
Chapter 2 describes the usability and advantages of the micro-patterning technique to study protein-protein interactions in a live cell context. It summarizes results achieved so far, discusses latest technical developments and describes potential future applications.
Chapter 3 describes a strategy for...

Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of mechanisms underlying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells highlighting the role of mitochondria. It presents a novel way to further explore possible involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in beta cell glucolipotoxicity.
Chapter 2 discusses acute pancreatitis, which has often a biliary pathogenesis. The in-depth knowledge of the relationship between these diabetes and acute pancreatitis can encourage an effective prevention and also a better therapeutics stage management.
Chapter 3 addresses the key points of...

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, such as increasing the likelihood of heart disease, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. It is one of the most serious health problems of the 21st century, especially in those highly developed countries, with increasing prevalence in adults and children. Chapter 1 presents results of a systematic review of...

Cervical cancer and breast cancer are two of the most common cancers found in women. Cervical cancer is when cancer arises from the cervix. Early on there are typically no symptoms. Later symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pain during sex. Breast cancer is when cancer develops from breast tissue. Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, or a red scaly patch of skin. Prostate cancer is when cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. It may...
