Genomics: Principles and Analysis Jamie Spooner

A genome is the complete genetic code of an organism. The science of genomics deals with the study of genomes along with their function, structure, evolution and manipulation. High throughput DNA sequencing and bioinformatics have advanced the understanding of this field. Some of the research dimensions of genomics are in the areas of structural and functional genomics, epigenomics, metagenomics, etc. Genomics has contributed significantly to the fields of medicine, biotechnology and conservation. From theories to research to practical applications, all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book. Molecular biologists, geneticists, biochemists and students will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
