Review: Genome mapping and sequencing technologies borrow extensively from the early recombinant DNA technologies of library construction, cloning, and amplification using polymerase chain reaction; gene transfer to microbes, animals and plants is now widely used for the functional analysis of genomes; and the applications of genomics and recombinant DNA are becoming difficult to separate. To reflect this, this book unites Principles of Genome Analysis and Genomics with Principles of Gene Manipulation. For advanced undergraduates, the book is divided into four parts: Fundamental techniques of gene manipulation: Manipulating DNA in microbes, plants and animals; Genome analysis, genomics, and beyond; and Applications of gene manipulation and genomics.
