<i><b>Genome Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis</b></i> is a concise introduction to the subject, successfully bringing together these three key areas of research. Starting with a revision of molecular genetics the book offers clear explanations of the tools and techniques widely used in genome, transcriptome and proteome analysis. Subsequent chapters offer a broad overview of linkage maps, physical maps and genome sequencing, with a final discussion on the identification of genes responsible for disease. <p> An invaluable introduction to the basic concepts of the subject, this text offers the student an excellent overview of current research methods and applications and is a good starting point for those new to the area. <ul> <li>A clear, concise introduction to the subject of modern genomic analysis <li>A technology-oriented approach including the latest developments in the field <li>Invaluable to those students taking courses in Bioinformatics, Human Genetics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology  </ul>
