简介：Editor Sensen (bioinformatics, U. of Calgary, Canada) has gathered detailed technical contributions from an international roster of researchers involved with a field that has garnered enormous financial and social investment. The hope, of course, is for big payoffs financially, and in benefits to humanity; but Sensen suggests in his preface that the time frame may be longer than hyperbole has led the public to believe. This two-volume reference is intended as a comprehensive survey. It begins with a section introducing applications such as sequencing and the comparative sequence analysis of model organisms, the investigation of genetically influenced diseases, the development of new substances for medicine, and agri- food and environmental genetics. Subsequent chapters address topics central to the technologies, including DNA sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics. Concluding chapters are devoted to ethical, legal, and social issues, including genome research and banking, biobanks and commercialization, beginning-of-life issues, and the future of large-scale life science research.
