Genome analysis remains high on the agenda for research in the life sciences. Since the first edition of Principles of Genome Analysis appeared, the sequencing of model genomes has continued to gather momentum, culminating in the publication of the first complete genomes of several species of bacteria and eukaryotic microbes. Living up to its title the book provides a step-by-step outline of the techniques of gene mapping. It has been fully revised and expanded for the second edition, and features a new chapter on sequence data analysis. Produced in two colours throughout and profusely illustrated, Principles of Genome Analysis is ideal as a course text for students of molecular genetics, genome analysis and molecular biotechnology
