Description
The fourth edition introduces the questions and methods that connect genome information with biological function. Arthur Lesk examines how genes are identified, how their roles are investigated, and how regulatory relationships help produce different cell activities. The discussion connects genome sequences with the dynamic regulation of biological activity.
Topics covered
- Genome sequencing, analysis, and interpretation of biological data.
- The Human Genome Project and applications of human genomics.
- Functional genomics, evolution, and the study of human populations.
Who it’s for
Students studying genomics for the first time in biology, genetics, or related life sciences courses.
Study use: Use the examples to connect genomic methods with the biological questions they are designed to answer.
