Frontiers in Computational Genomics Edited by: Michael Y. Galperin and Eugene V. Koonin
Published: 2003   ISBN: 978-0-9542464-4-0
Price: GB £90 or US $180
Computational biology and bioinformatics form a major, integral part of genomics. From sequence fragment assembly, to gene prediction, to prediction of protein functions and structure, to identification of regulatory signals in DNA, to building phylogenetic trees, it would not be an exaggeration to state that genomics is primarily computational. Major new programs, software and internet facilities have evolved recently that facilitate computational analysis and more novel technologies are currently being developed. Written by experts in the field, this volume highlights research on the emerging, perhaps somewhat controversial, topics in genomics and shows the feedback between the new developments and the established methods of computational biology. An essential book for anyone involved in genomic science or bioinformatics. read more ...
Genomic Technologies: Present and Future Edited by: David J. Galas
Published: 2002   ISBN: 978-0-9542464-2-6
Price: GB £90 or US $180
The chapters in this book reflect the range of technical advances and their applications that are currently transforming biology. Topics covered include the application of computational methods, the robotics of modern automation methodologies, the new chemical and imaging methods that reveal chromosome structure and elucidate gene function, and the emergence of evolutionary and functional information by comparative genomics. Eminent international scientists describe in detail the new technology necessary to study the entire genome in a holistic manner and all the high throughput and large-scale experimental methodologies currently being used in genomic science. In addition the authors describe the progress of the newest technologies that are currently being developed. read more ...
