The completion of the Human Genome Project has been an important milestone in medicine. The identification of approximately 25,000 genes and their regulatory proteins provides the framework for understanding the molecular and metabolic basis of disease. This advance has laid the…
"With contributions from active researchers, this book explores emerging fields such as metagenomics, cytomics, glycomics, miRNA and their various applications, demonstrating the real diversity of omics. It covers cutting edge treatments such as toxicognenomics and its applicati…
"The living world runs on genomic software-- what Dawn Field and Neil Davies call the 'biocode'- -the sum of all DNA on Earth. In Biocode, they tell the story of a new age of scientific discovery: the growing global effort to read and map the biocode, and what that might mean fo…
"Through the use of dramatic narratives, The Drama of DNA brings to life the complexieites raised by the application of genomic technologies to health care and diagnosis. This creative, pedagogical approach shines a unique light on the ethical, psychosocial, and policy challenge…
This book helps with understanding of how life function by explaining the physical principles underpinning many complex biological phenomena, including how nerves transmit signals, the actions of chaperones in protein folding, and how polymerases and ribosomes achieve high fidel…
