A Primer of Genome Science (Paperback)

Paperback. Genome science has matured as a discipline to the point where it is now incorporated as a regular part of the genetics curriculum in universities. A Primer of Genome Science, Third Edition, bridges the gap between standard genetics textbooks and highly specialized, technical, and advanced treatments of the subdisciplines. It provides an affordable introduction to the field that is suited to advanced undergraduate or early graduate courses. Bioinformaticprinciples and experimental strategies are explained side-by-side with the experimental methods, establishing a framework that allows teachers to explore topics and the literature at their ownpace.The Primer is organized into six chapters dealing with the scope of genomics, genome sequencing, variation and complex traits, gene expression, proteomics, and metabolomics. Each chapter includes several boxes explaining the theory behind bioinformatic methods, discussion questions, and a summary. This edition has been updated to include the latest developments in next-generation sequencing, high-volume genotyping and expression profiling, and advances inmetabolomics.For StudentsCompanion WebsiteThe Primer of Genome Science Companion Website includes the end-of-chapter exercises with links anddownloadable files, as well as links to all of the websites referenced throughout the textbook.For Instructors (Available to Qualified Adopters)Instructor's Resource LibraryThis resource includes all the full-color illustrations and all the tables from the textbook, in JPEG format, reformatted and relabeled for optimal readability.
