Genomics research has made significant advances in recent years. In this book, a team of internationally-renowned researchers share the most up-to-date information in a field that has in recent years switched emphasis from gene identification to functional genomics and the characterization of genes and gene products. This volume approaches this complex subject with a broad perspective to supply the reader with a vital overview of genomics and its derivative fields, with a focus on pivotal issues such as data analysis. Expansive and current, this book is a comprehensive research guide that describes both the key new techniques and more established methods. Every chapter discusses the merits and limitations of the various approaches and then provides selected tried-and-tested protocols, as well as a plethora of good practical advice for immediate use at the bench. Key features: Provides a broad introduction to current practices and techniques for lab-based research in genomicsExplains clearly and precisely how to carry out selected techniques in addition to background information on the various approachesChapters are written by a leading international authorities in the field and cover both well-known and new, tried and tested, methods for working in genomicsIncludes troubleshooting guide and reviews of alternative techniquesAn essential laboratory manual for students and researchers at all levels

Since the first edition, published in 2001, genomics research has taken great strides. In Genomics Protocols, 2nd Edition, a team of expert researchers share the most current information in a field that has recently switched emphasis from gene identification to functional genomics and the characterization of genes and gene products. This volume approaches its complex subject with a broad perspective to supply its reader with a vital overview of genomics and its derivative fields, with a focus on pivotal issues such as data analysis. Following the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, the chapters provide easy-to-follow laboratory protocols, lists of the necessary materials, and the excellent Notes section, which offers tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Expansive and current, Genomics Protocols, 2nd Edition is the perfect update for researchers working in this integral, growing field.
