GENOMES 5, 5TH EDITION

Genomes 5 has been completely revised and updated. It is a thoroughly modern textbook about genomes and how they are invesgated. As with previous Genomes edions, techniques come first, then genome anatomies, followed by genome funcon, and finally genome evoluon. The genomes of all types of organism are covered: viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, including humans and other hominids. Genome sequencing and assembly methods have been thoroughly revised to include new developments in longread DNA sequencing. Coverage of genome annotaon emphasizes genome-wide RNA mapping, with CRISPR-Cas 9 and GWAS methods of determining gene funcon covered. The knowledge gained from these techniques forms the basis of the chapters that describe the three main types of genomes: eukaryoc, prokaryoc (including eukaryoc organelles), and viral (including mobile genec elements)
