Preface One of the central questions of biology is how the genome of an organism encodes all the information necessary for its operation. Finding comprehensive answers to this is a monumental task. While efforts to answer this question are still in their infancy and it is not yet clear how to best approach this, there is no doubt that the problem of decoding the genome requires knowledge of the genome sequences (information), phenotypes (the final output), and the molecular processes linking the two. The term genomics is being used to classify a broad spectrum of methods and approaches currently in use to answer these questions. It is also frequently used to distinguish studies that involve multiple genes from those that are focused on a single gene. The last few years have see
