Genomics

For courses in Genomics in the department of Biology. This text provides the tools needed for instructors to teach this new and rapidly changing subject. With its emphasis on computational analysis, high-through-put technologies, and identification of biological networks, this text meets the demand for new training approaches in this field by utilizing a PowerPoint package of lectures to cover comparative genomics, structural genomics, phylogenomics, and pharmacogenomics.
