"...an excellent addition to the field of comparativegenomics." (ASM News, December 2004) "...will provide interesting reading and perspective toalmost everyone involved in biological sciences."(Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2004) "...certainly deserves a place in institutionallibraries...depth of material covered is right for the busyscientist...precise and detailed..." (Briefings in FunctionalGenomics & Proteomics, Vol 2(4), February 2004) "...this book gives an illuminating look at the study of genomesthrough their sequence..." (Human Genomics, January2004) "...covers basic and applied problems in the emerging field ofcomparative functional genomics..." (Genetic EngineeringNews, Vol 23(14), 2003)"Handbook of Comparative Genomics is a pioneeringcomposition illuminating the emerging scientific discipline ofcomparative evolutionary genomics. Professors Cecilia Saccone andGraziano Pesole have not only provided us with a treasure trove ofmolecular, structural and compositional information, but moreimportantly, they have produced a scholarly exegesis of empirical,statistical, bioinformatical, computational, and evolutionarymethodology. The Handbook contains both introductory and advancedmaterial, and manages to maintain a degree of lucidity that is asrare as it is indispensable in scientific discourse." --Dan Graur, Ph.D., Gordon Professor of Life Sciences, TelAviv University "...a unique and most welcome source of information andinspiration for anyone interested in genomics, from advancedundergraduates to experienced researchers." --Wilfried W. de Jong, Ph.D., Department of Biochemistry,University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands
