For courses in Genomics and for biology courses that include Genomics in their subject matter.
With the complete genome sequence now available for a variety of organisms, the field of genomics is growing enormously. Challenged by the rapidly changing landscape, access to the latest research is essential. Benfey's innovative design combines a traditional text format with PowerPoints to provide up-to-date coverage.
