Short description
In this unique presentation of a revolutionary field of science, the first section introduces the domains of application for genomics and bioinformatics, investigating genetically influenced diseases, the development of new active substances, agri-food and environmental genomics.
There then follows an overview of current topics central to DNA technologies, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics. The whole is rounded off by a section on the ethical, legal and social aspects.
