"Introduction to Genomics provides insight into what can be revealed by the study of genomes : the similarities and differences among organisms; how different species evolve; the construction and operation of the genome; and what the understanding of genomics will contribute to our health and well-being. Covering the latest techniques that enable us to study the genome in ever-increasing detail, this book explores what the genome reveals about life in nature, in the laboratory, in the courtroom, and in the clinic."--
