Reviews for Genomics: Applications in Human Biology
"Genomics is the more specialised...but still manages to cover an impressive array of topics relevant to human biology, including infectious disease, cancer and biopharmaceuticals. Wherever possible, the authors have gone out of their way to link technology and biological application." Paul B. Rainey, Times Higher Education Supplement, March 2004
