Genomics research has made significant advances in recent years. Inthis book, a team of internationally-renowned researchers share themost up-to-date information in a field that has in recent yearsswitched emphasis from gene identification to functional genomicsand the characterization of genes and gene products. This volumeapproaches this complex subject with a broad perspective to supplythe reader with a vital overview of genomics and its derivativefields, with a focus on pivotal issues such as data analysis.Expansive and current, this book is a comprehensiveresearch guide that describes both the key new techniques and moreestablished methods. Every chapter discusses the merits andlimitations of the various approaches and then provides selectedtried-and-tested protocols, as well as a plethora of good practicaladvice for immediate use at the bench.
Key features:
* Provides a broad introduction to current practices andtechniques for lab-based research in genomics
* Explains clearly and precisely how to carry out selectedtechniques in addition to background information on the variousapproaches
* Chapters are written by a leading international authorities inthe field and cover both well-known and new, tried and tested,methods for working in genomics
* Includes troubleshooting guide and reviews of alternativetechniques
