Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics / Edition 7

by Sandy B. Primrose, Richard Twyman

Overview

The increasing integration between gene manipulation and genomics is embraced in this new book, Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics, which brings together for the first time the subjects covered by the best-selling books Principles of Gene Manipulation and Principles of Genome Analysis & Genomics.

• Comprehensively revised, updated and rewritten to encompass within one volume, basic and advanced gene manipulation techniques, genome analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics
• Includes two new chapters on the applications of genomics
• An accompanying website - www.blackwellpublishing.com/primrose - provides instructional materials for both student and lecturer use, including multiple choice questions, related websites, and all the artwork in a downloadable format.
• An essential reference for upper level undergraduate and graduate students of genetics, genomics, molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"As with previous texts written by Primrose, the subjects are discussed in enough detail to stimulate first to final-year biology and genetics undergraduates and will also help to remind research students about some of the basics they have forgotten."
Times Higher Education Supplement

Editorial Reviews

"Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics is well written and clearly illustrated throughout, as would be expected from these authors who have considerable experience in this subject."
