Preface
A genome encodes all the necessary information for the function of both single cell and highly complex organisms. Genome comprises a cluster of genes, regulated in a wide variety of cells, whose division makes an organism. Apart from the genes, a genome is also composed of noncoding regions, regulatory regions, etc. whose coordinated function will make the process of life. A lot of advancement has been made in the field of genomics with the genomes of all model organisms and economically important organisms being sequenced and deposited in the databases. This book addresses the new tools, technologies, and approaches that were made to sequence a variety of genomes belonging to various organisms for both the students and experienced, practicing biologists. The achievement of long-sought decoding a genome sequence was possible through the development of instrumentation and computational technologies with user-friendly softwares and tools, which has irrevocably changed the perspective and provided a new direction for the a better understanding of biology. The development of other omics technologies such as proteomics,
