This is the first of two volumes on genomics and proteomics.
We may stand on the brink of an exciting era in medicine, in which physicians will routinely be able to personalize treatment of complex diseases based on an individual patients genomic profile. Moreover, the related techniques of metabolomics and proteomics also have exciting potential and are being used both as diagnostic tools in medicine and in other branches of biology.
This book outlines some of the latest tools being applied to the large-scale analysis of genomes, proteins and metabolites in a variety of settings. Specific non-medical applications discussed in the book include the sequencing of plant DNA for biotechnology and breeding purposes, and proteomics for analysis of food proteins and species differentiation in fish. Medical subjects described in the book include analysis and discovery of biomarkers (e.g. in the diagnosis/classification of tumors, liver fibrosis or brain injury), as well as general considerations associated with the use of metabolomics for diagnosis and drug screening. The book discusses and evaluates general proteomic techniques such as 2D-PAGE and liquid chromatography, and also features chapters on quantitative proteomics.
We believe that this book is valuable both as general reference work and as a source of insight into the latest techniques and advances for researchers and practitioners in any relevant biological/medical fields.
