Welcome to the Genome

This volume offers readers an opportunity to learn about how genomes are sequenced, what discoveries have so far come out of this scientific revolution, and about the ethical dimensions of this advancing technology. The revised edition focuses on the new advances in genome technology and builds upon the strong basic biological format that was established in the original publication. It also takes advantage of the recent major advances in genome level sequencing and analysis to demonstrate the vast increase in biological knowledge over the past decade.
