Introduction to Genomics is a fascinating insight into what can be revealed from the study of genomes: how organisms differ or match; how different organisms evolved; how the genome is constructed and how it operates; and what our understanding of genomics means in terms of our future health and wellbeing.
Covering the latest techniques that enable us to study the genome in ever-increasing detail, the book explores what the genome tells us about life at the level of the molecule, the cell, and the organism. Extensive end-of-chapter exercises and problems throughout the text help students fully grasp the concepts being presented, while web-based problems and lab assignments at chapter ends enable hands-on interaction with the material.
