General description
This two-volume set, “the handbook for the genome revolution,” is an essential guide to the enormous range of techniques for genetic and physical genome mapping, as well as sequencing and analysis of DNA. It is both a protocol manual and a comprehensive reference. The primary focus is on human genetics, but the book also considers other model organisms − bacterial, plant and animal. Exhaustive appendices include Internet resources, basic data on human and other genomes, and mouse gene knock-outs.
