Summary

Decoding Life: An Introduction to Genomics

Our genome is the blueprint for our existence, encoding all the information needed to develop from a single cell into a complex, functional organism. More than just a static information store, it’s a dynamic and tightly regulated collection of genes, switching on and off in countless combinations to create the diverse cells that form our bodies.

But how do we identify these genes? How do we determine their function? And how do diffe…

Critics Review

Review from previous editionThis book is great for introducing the field of genomics, providing the basic concepts underpinning the field, including cutting edge techniques, along with examples of its application. * Dr Emma Laing, University of Surrey *The writing is eloquent and engages the curious reader with a wide range of background stories. The practical applications are always highlighted. Rather than a text book studied to pass an exam, this book is a pleasure to read. * Dr Richard Bingham, University of Huddersfield *It’s the best textbook that I have reviewed for upper-level undergraduates. It has good basic coverage of human aspects, databases, and comparative genomics. I like the questions and problems at the end of the chapters. * Professor Michael Shiaris, University of Massachusetts Boston *
