Encyclopedic Reference of Genomics and Proteomics in Molecular Medicine / Edition 1

by Detlev Ganten, Klaus Ruckpaul

Overview

This is the most authoritative and wide-ranging reference yet assembled on Functional Genomics (the systematic analysis and identification of genes and their function) and Proteomics (the study of the complex structures and functions of proteins) in the rapidly expanding field of Molecular Medicine.

The two-volume reference work offers a comprehensive overview of the terms, topics and issues in both molecular biology and molecular medicine, with particular emphasis placed on the molecular causes of diseases. It provides up-to-the minute information about developments in the field, including pharmacogenetics and pharmacoproteomics, gene regulation and gene therapy.

Presented in an A-Z format, the reference includes more than 2000 entries contributed by worldwide experts in genomics and proteomics. The entries comprise in-depth essays – written in concise, lucid language and illustrated with full-color figures – as well as extensively cross-referenced keyword entries.

The Encyclopedic Reference of Genomics and Proteomics in Molecular Medicine is an invaluable tool for clinical scientists in academia and industry, and all who need fast and user-friendly access to key information in this dynamically developing field.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"A book like this is thoroughly interesting to dip into … . A lot of work has gone into these volumes-into the concept, the writing, the editing and the design and the design and production. They are a quality job in all aspects. I just hope they don’t simply sit on library shelves looking impressive, but get taken out and read." (A. Read, Human Genetics, Vol. 121, 2007)
