Essentials of Medical Genomics
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-0-470-14019-2 (ISBN)
Six new chapters on vital topics of interest such as multilocus SNP genotyping (SNP chips), RNAi, ChIP-chip, and genomic tiling arrays
New edition responds to reviewers' and users' desire for greater coverage—now the most useful handbook on the market!
Practical, concise summary of everything about genomics and emerging technologies a busy physician or medical student should know
Covers concepts and techniques that are in use in medicine now, as well as those on the cutting-edge of science relevant to medicine, from bioinformatics to DNA diagnostics and proteomics
NEW: Includes chapter-end exercises, enhancing the utility of the new edition as a textbook
NEW: PowerPoint slides of images available at instructor website
STUART M. BROWN, PhD, is on the faculty of the New York University School of Medicine, where he is Associate Professor and Director of the Bioinfor-matics Core Facility and Director of the graduate Bioinformatics course.
