Since the well-publicized completion of the Human Genome Project, genomics has continued at a rapid pace to be recognized as a critical course in the Genetics curriculum. Being a new but core area, it is already established at the graduate level, and the need for a textbook that describes conceptually, what genomics is all about and how it is done is undisputed. This text addresses genomics generally, including methods, and applications. This insightful text introduces the readers to the vocabulary and tools of genomics, discussing both the strengths and the limitations of those tools, and provides some guidance with respect to interfacing genomic analyses with other disciplines in the biological sciences.The book first introduces genomics at a basic conceptual level that emphases the more global and high throughput analyses that have been integrate into (and serve as a major rationale for) genomic studies. The expert authors include the latest approaches used in genomic analysis and provide a clear concise picture of how and why the newest technologies work and both the power and limitations of these technologies.
