Genomics is a discipline in genetics that applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the function and structure of genomes. Genetic Engineering (GE) is a highly complicated and advanced branch of science which involves a wide range of techniques used in changing the genetic material in the DNA code in a living organism. Genomics has become the hot soup of molecular genetics and biotechnology. The subject covers a wide area packed with huge number of tools and techniques for dissecting the genome. The information thus obtained is used to manipulate the genome by Genetic Engineering of an organism. This book is a helpline to the students entering into this vast arena. There are three key features of the book. First of all, the subject matter has been discussed in a lucid way with important points highlighted to aid students for better comprehension. Efforts have been made for a wide coverage along with in depth analysis of the subject where needed. Less
