Description
The increasing integration between gene manipulation and genomicsis embraced in this new book, Principles of Gene Manipulationand Genomics, which brings together for the first time thesubjects covered by the best-selling books Principles of GeneManipulation and Principles of Genome Analysis &Genomics.
* Comprehensively revised, updated and rewritten to encompasswithin one volume, basic and advanced gene manipulation techniques,genome analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics andmetabolomics
* Includes two new chapters on the applications of genomics
* An accompanying website - www.blackwellpublishing.com/primrose- provides instructional materials for both student and lectureruse, including multiple choice questions, related websites, and allthe artwork in a downloadable format.
* An essential reference for upper level undergraduate andgraduate students of genetics, genomics, molecular biology andrecombinant DNA technology.
