This advanced level textbook provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the area of molecular based diagnostics (including nucleic acids, biosensors and immunoessays) of disease markers. It also covers the impact of techniques such as in vitro nucleic acid amplifications (e.g. PCR) and other amplification methods, as well as gene and biochip production and automated techniques such as fluorescent sequencing.
The book discusses key concepts where new and merging areas, including pharmacogenomics, proteomics and functional genomics, are being researched and developed. In addition, examples are given where this new area of bioscience has or may be successfully applied.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“A compelling text that will assist a broad readership interested in keeping the pace with new developments.” (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, June 2008)
“…aims to bring together genomics and drug discovery, and to show how rapid advances in molecular analysis are bringing new tools and approaches to genome discovery.” (Genomics & Proteomics, October 2004)
From the Back Cover
Molecular Analysis and Genome Discovery is a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the fast moving field of molecular based diagnostics of disease markers. Key concepts and applications are provided alongside practical information on current techniques currently being researched and developed.
Each chapter offers an up-to-date analysis of the subject encompassing the very latest technology platforms. An indispensable resource for all students taking courses in molecular medicine, biotechnology and molecular biology and will also be a useful reference for researchers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Contributions from leading practioners in the field
Includes all the latest developments with an insight into future approaches.
Discussion on a combination of techniques and concepts
