Principles of Genome Analysis

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.
