Book Description:

Comparative Genomics, Volume 1, provides a collection of robust protocols for molecular biologists beginning

to use comparative genomic analysis tools in a variety of areas. Volume I contains the first four of seven

sections. In the first section, the reader is introduced to genomes via a number of visualization tools that

allow one to browse through a particular genome of interest. The second and third sections deal with

comparative analysis at the level of individual sequences, and present methods useful in sequence alignment,

the discovery of conserved sequence motifs, and the analysis of codon usage. The fourth section deals with

the identification and structural characterization of non-coding RNA genes this class of genes is

particularly difficult to predict, and discovery of these elements is almost completely reliant on

comparative genomics. Given the tremendous increase in available biosequence data over the past ten years,

Comparative Genomics, Volume 1, is timely, comprehensive, and novel. A companion Volume 2 is also available

from Humana Press.
