Genome Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis (eBook)

Alain Bernot is a graduate of the École normale supérieure, PHD, and Professor at the Université d'Evry. He is currently working in a genetic therapy programme at Genethon. He previously directed the sequencing and analysis of a vertebrate genome (Tetraodon nigroviridis), and contributed to the identification of a gene responsible for a human genetic disease (Mediterranean familial fever).
