This textbook provides an introduction to genome science for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Each of six chapters features several boxes explaining the theory behind bioinformatic methods, along with discussion questions, a summary, and suggestions for further reading. It is assumed that the reader has completed an undergraduate course in genetics. The authors teach functional genomics Noun 1. functional genomics - the branch of genomics that determines the biological function of the genes and their products
genomics - the branch of genetics that studies organisms in terms of their genomes (their full DNA sequences)
