Handbook of Comparative Genomics : Principles and Methodology, Hardcover by Saccone, Cecilia; Pesole, Graziano, ISBN 047139128X, ISBN-13 9780471391289, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK

Writing for trained biologists who may or may not have a background in genomics, Saccone (molecular biology, U. of Bari, Italy) and Pesole (physiology and general biochemistry, U. of Milan, Italy) present their vision of the most powerful techniques and exciting research in genomics, especially as it relates to comparing findings across species. They describe the molecular knowledge uncovered with modern biotechnological tools; illustrate recent methodologies used in genomics (with emphases on biological databases and computational methods); and present data derived from comparative studies on the evolution of genome size, base compositional constraints, and the structure and origin of organisms at the molecular level.
