Written by the best-selling author team of Sandy Primrose and Richard Twyman, Gene and Genome Technology reflects the rapid progress in recombinant DNA technology over the last few years, its biological background and applications. The authors carefully weave their expertise on the increasing integration between gene manipulation and genomics with coverage of techniques, genome analysis, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in a highly accessible and student-focused edition. The text includes material and research presented in the recently published Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics, Seventh Edition, with additional explanation, four-color illustrations, and helpful pedagogical features designed to help undergraduate students encountering advanced topics for the first time. Text boxes in every chapter offer insights into the history, methodology, ethical concerns, and applications of genomic technologies and Background Biology panels assist students needing background or refresher information on the essential biology. Thought-provoking end of chapter questions, summaries and a dedicated website (www.blackwellpublishing.com/genetech) provide further instruction and resources for both the student and instructor. All art from the book is available for download online and on CD-ROM.
