Short description
In the last decade, DNA sequencing costs have decreased 50 fold, and further cost reductions are expected as a result of the development of new high-throughput techniques and the computational machinery needed to analyze data generated. Automation in Proteomics and Genomics describes the automation technology currently used in the areas of analysis, design, and integration, as well as providing basic biology concepts behind proteomics and genomics. The book also provides researchers, graduate students, and engineers with the current technological limitations that can be viewed as an emerging market rather than a research bottleneck.
