Gunter Kahl is Professor for Plant Molecular Biology at the Biocenter of Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. After gaining his PhD in plant biochemistry, he spent two postdoctoral years at Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA, joining Professor Joe Varner, and at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California with Professor James Bonner. His main research interests are:-Sequencing and analysis of fungal, plant and animal genomes-Transcriptome analysis in pro- and eukaryotic organisms-Technology developmentGunter Kahl is the author of more than 250 scientific journal publications and several book publications including all titles of the successful book series Molecular Plant Biology Handbook series, and currently holds the CSO position at GenXPro GmbH, a company specializing in novel technologies in genomics and transcriptomics, located at the Frankfurt Innovation Centre for Biotechnology (FIZ), Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

"...this book should be available within hand's reach for everyone who is enthusiastically involved with molecular biology and gene technology."Angewandte Chemie "This book is much more than what its concise title implies - it is more than a mere dictionary, in the sense of a collection of terms and acronyms, but rather a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating read, and in fact an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era." Trends in Molecular Medicine " This precious piece cannot be missed in any library or laboratory, nor on any desk!" BioTec "Physically the book is beautifully presented on high quality paper and one aspect that I particulary like is the plethora of illustrations. ... this book would make a useful addition to any academic library."School of Biosciences, Univ. of Birmingham, ISSX newsletter "...essential for students, faculty, and researchers in genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology..."CHOICE "In summary, this is a useful resource that many institutions, academic departments, and laboratories may consider having on their reference shelves."Clinical Chemistry
