Summary
This book covers the important concepts of high-throughput modern techniques used in the genomics and proteomics field. Each technique is explained, with underlying concepts; simple line diagrams and flow charts are included to aid understanding and memory. A summary of key points precedes each chapter within the book, followed by detailed description in the subsections. Each subsection concludes with suggested relevant original references.
