The Dictionary of Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics, 3 Volume Set

0.0

This most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of 12,000 technical terms of the modern fields of genome research (genomics), gene expression technology (transcriptomics), andprotein structure and function (proteomics) is the successor of the very successful long-seller and leading title The Dictionary of Gene Technology.This new edition appreciates a far-reaching diversification of the technical language of the three disciplines and tries to order the sometimes confusing usage of multiple synonyms, acronyms and laboratory jargons. It presents extensive explanations of the terms, frequently supported by illustrations, and provides multiple links to related terms of neighboring science fields such as genetics, molecular genetics, molecular medicine, biotechnology, nanotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry and biophysics. All the chemical formulas are professionally drawn in a uniform style, and most of the figures and schemes are custom-designed.This outstanding dictionary assists laypersons, students, journalists, officials, and experts alike to understand the meaning of most terms of the three continuously and vigorously expanding disciplines.Praise from the previous edition:"... this book is... a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating read, and... an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era... The author [created]... a comprehensive, accurate, useful, intelligent and readable account of virtually every possible term from the many diverse fields of genomics." –Trends in Molecular MedicineThe Dictionary of Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics, Fourth Edition, covers exciting topics from A to Z such as:Aberrant splicingAll-exon arrayAnti-microRNABacteria-mediated RNA interferenceB-Z nanomachineChIPSeqClonal cluster sequencingConvection PCRCopy number variation (CNV)Dark matter transcriptionDeep sequencingDispensible genomeDNA nanomotorDNA origamiElectrophoretic NMREpigenetic codeeQTLGene dopingGene number paradoxGenetic code expansionGenome transplantationHaplotype shufflingHistone H3 barcodeImmuno-PCRiDNAJunk RNALanguage geneMemory suppressor genemicroRNA microarrayMolecular fossilMycoplasma laboratoriumNanopore sequencingNext generation sequencingOncomicroRNAOptical tweezersPaired-end mappingPan-genomePromoter transcriptProtein nanoarrayQuadruplet codonRNA thermometerSecond genetic codeStructural variation (SV)SuperSAGEThousand Dollar genomeTransitive RNAiTransplicationVirtual PCRY-clan signatureZIP code
