This book aims to equip readers with modern molecular biology concepts and techniques including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, metabolomics and systems biology. It will provide students, researchers and lecturers with a core understanding of a newly emerging field that is of relevance to the industrial/academic arenas. As a result, they can create insightful and inventive solutions to common problems, and describe and explore the current field of post-genomic ('omics') technologies.
