What is Introduction to Genomics about?

Our genome is the blueprint to our it encodes all the information we need to develop from a single cell into a hugely complicated functional organism. But it is more than a static information our genome is a dynamic, tightly-regulated collection of genes, which switch on and off in many combinations to give the variety of cells from which our bodies are formed. But how do we identify the genes that make up our genome? How do we determine their function? And how do different genes form the regulatory networks that direct the process of life? Introduction to Genomics is a fascinating insight into what can be revealed from the study of how organisms differ or match; how different organisms evolved; how the genome is constructed and how it operates; and what our understanding of genomics means in terms of our future health and wellbeing. Covering the lastest techniques that enable us to study the genome in ever-increasing detail, the book explores what the genome tells us about life at the level of the molecule, the cell, and the organism. Learning features throughout make this book the ideal teaching and learning extensive end of chapter exercises and problems help the student to full
