Today, DNA sequencing on a large scale—the scale necessary for ambitious projects such as sequencing an entire genome—is mostly done by high-tech machines. Genome analysis entails the prediction of genes in uncharacterized genomic sequences. Scientists also hope that being able to study the entire genome sequence will help them understand how the genome as a whole works—how genes work together to direct the growth, development and maintenance of an entire organism. In this book, eminent experts of the field highlights and review current advances in genome analysis.
