Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics, seventh edition, is a comprehensively revised, updated and rewritten to encompass basic and advanced gene manipulation techniques, genome analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The basic methodologies are presented in the ?rst part of the book, while more advanced gene-transfer techniques are presented in the second part. The third part moves from the basic gene-manipulation technologies to genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, the major branches of high- throughput. The fourth part of the book discusses how recombinant DNA technology and genomics are being applied in the ?elds of medicine, agriculture, diagnostics, forensics, and biotechnology.
