Synopsis

Genome analysis has been the single most significant advance in biomedicine in the last decade. A complete mapping of the genomes of selected model organisms should revolutionize our understanding of biology. Major developments are anticipated that will impact on the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. This short guide to the discipline provides a step-by-step outline of the techniques of gene mapping. It should be useful to students of molecular genetics, and to researchers seeking to use these revolutionary techniques in their work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With the first draft of the human genome project in the public domain and full analyses of model genomes now available, the subject matter of ′Principles of Genome Analysis and Genomics′ is even ′hotter′ now than when the first two editions were published in 1995 and 1998. In the new edition of this very practical guide to the different techniques and theory behind genomes and genome analysis, Sandy Primrose and new author Richard Twyman provide a fresh look at this topic. In the light of recent exciting advancements in the field, the authors have completely revised and rewritten many parts of the new edition with the addition of five new chapters. Aimed at upper level students, it is essential that in this extremely fast moving topic area the text is up to date and relevant. Completely revised new edition of an established textbook. Features new chapters and examples from exciting new research in genomics, including the human genome project. Excellent new co–author in Richard Twyman, also co–author of the new edition of hugely popular Principles of Gene Manipulation .

Présentation de l'éditeur

Genome analysis and genomics are at the forefront of current research in the life sciences. Since the first edition of Principles of Genome Analysis was published, the sequencing of genomes has continued apace, with the major landmark of the human genome sequence being achieved in 2001. Now the emphasis of biological research is on genomics: the understanding of gene function and the interaction of gene products at the whole genome level.

As before, this book provides a step–by–step outline of the techniques involved in genome mapping and sequencing. Additionally, the text has been greatly expanded to cover sub–disciplines of genomics, revisions of sections on genome sequencing and bioinformatics, and new chapters on comparative genomics, functional genomics and proteomics. The book concludes with an exciting new chapter describing a variety of ways to utilize genome analysis and sequencing in biology, medicine and agriculture.

Aimed at advanced undergraduates, this text will follow the same format as the highly successful Principles of Gene Manipulation by Primrose, Twyman and Old, now in its sixth edition.
