Genomics protocols, 2d ed.9781588298713 Genomics protocols, 2d ed. Ed. by Michael Starkey and Ramnath Elaswarapu. Humana Press Inc. 2008 425 pages $99.50 Hardcover Methods in molecular biology molecular biology, scientific study of the molecular basis of life processes, including cellular respiration, excretion, and reproduction. The term molecular biology was coined in 1938 by Warren Weaver, then director of the natural sciences program at the Rockefeller ; v.439 QH440 Fifty-nine international researchers from academic, industrial, federal, and private research institutions contribute 27 chapters to a text offering fellow researchers the most current information on 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) and the characterization of genes and gene products. Coverage includes high fidelity high fidelity n. The electronic reproduction of sound, especially from broadcast or recorded sources, with minimal distortion. high whole genome amplification In many fields of research, including preimplantation genetic diagnosis, cancer research or forensic medicine, the scarcity of genomic DNA can be a severely limiting factor on the type and quantity of genetic tests that can be performed on a sample. , procedures that are a prelude to genetic linkage Genetic linkage occurs when particular genetic loci or alleles for genes are inherited jointly. Genetic loci on the same chromosome are physically connected and tend to segregate together during meiosis, and are thus genetically linked. analysis, the molecular profiling of genomic DNA in a variety of guises, transcriptional profiling, alternative strategies for protein profiling, approaches for gene characterization and the identification of protein interaction networks, and a detailed tutorial about genomics technology useful in the elucidation of gene function. Each chapter provides easy-to-follow laboratory protocols, lists of the necessary materials, and a "Notes" section offering tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. The text has been updated to reflect advances in the field since publication of the first edition in 2001; specific revisions are not stated. ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
