Description for From Genome to Therapy
Hardcover. Functional genomics is the use of genetic information to design drugs. The ability to gather genetic data in the form of complete genetic sequences for certain organisms, has accelerated to astonishing speeds, reflecting the equally astonishing growth of information-gathering technologies. Editor(s): Venter, J. Craig. Series: Novartis Foundation Symposia. Num Pages: 174 pages, Illustrations, 1 map. BIC Classification: KNDP; TCB; TDCW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 233 x 165 x 18. Weight in Grams: 380.
This important and exciting work brings together a high-calibre group of experts to discuss the practical application of genomic information to the development of drugs. Recent technological advances have led to a rapid acceleration in our ability to gather genetic data. The complete genetic sequences are now known for several organisms and accelerated programmes are in place for sequencing many other genomes, including human. The speed with which complete sequencing can be accomplished will continue to increase as new technologies come online. In principle, the scope for developing new diagnostic techniques and drugs is now greater than at any time ... Read more
