Publisher's Synopsis
The study of the mapping, function, structure, evolution and editing of genomes is studied under genomics. Genes direct the production of proteins through enzymes and messenger molecules. Research in genomics delves into functional genomics, which studies gene transcription, translation and protein-protein interactions. It further strives to understand the functional role of DNA at the level of genes, RNA transcripts and protein products. Proteomics is the in-depth study of proteins. It is an interdisciplinary field which has rapidly advanced due to the progress in genomics. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the fields of genomics and proteomics. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the functional and computational aspects of these domains. It is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of these important fields.
