Product Description

Review

This is an extraordinarily well-written book on genomics and related areas such as proteomics and systems biology. It is remarkable in its coverage of a very complex area. I was particularly impressed by the section on genomics which is well understood by the somewhat classical protein chemist. Roger L. Lundblad in The Internet Journal of Genomics and Proteomics, July 2007

Review

Clearly written and easy to navigate. Thanks to its wide scope, it not only serves as a useful introduction to the field but can also be used to understand how many other key biology topics have changed in recent years as a consequence of the genomics age. A very good resource for undergraduates looking to understand the current state of molecular biology. Penny Sarchet, Student, University of Oxford in THE, 2012 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Everything you ever wanted to know about DNA 11 Jan 2011

By Dave C

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

After reading Matt Ridley, Richard Dawkins, etc. I wanted to know more about what was really happening inside my cells. The popular science bookshelf stops there, so you need to go to the undergraduate textbook section instead. Textbooks are not normally read cover to cover, but I found this one to be perfectly readable.

Assuming almost no prior knowledge, Lesk describes nucleotides, DNA, RNA, amino acids, replication, gene expression, epigenetics, cell structure, DNA sequencing, HOX genes, and much more. He also touches on the major DNA databases and algorithms (although he has another book specifically about bioinformatics).

No prior knowledge is necessary, although it might help to read a few lighter books first. This is a fascinating insight into the complexity of life. If you are interested in how DNA works, or what (probably) causes cancer, then I strongly recommend this book.

Best introduction to genomics 26 Dec 2009

By Pedro V. Marcal - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book takes the reader gently through the intricacies of genomics. It is a easy read for the computer scientist with little background in Bio-chemistry. The genetic material is always introduced and illustrated with examples before its importance in the scheme of things is explained. I highly recommend this book.
