Description
Book SynopsisFunctional genomics is the use of genetic information to design drugs. The ability to gather genetic data in the form of complete genetic sequences for certain organisms, has accelerated to astonishing speeds, reflecting the equally astonishing growth of information-gathering technologies.
Trade Review"It does successfully convey to the reader areas of controversy" (Microbiology Today, November 2001)
"there are a number of nuggets in the book that make it worth a browse." (Pharmaceutical Physician, December 2001)
"I found this book fun to read." (Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Education, No.29 2001)
"Contributors...present 17 papers and the discussions they generated at the symposium." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)
