The Encyclopedic Reference provides a broad overview of the topics and issues which are central to an understanding of molecular biology and molecular medicine, in addition to up-to-the minute information about developments in the field including pharmocogenics and pharmacoproteomics, gene therapy and gene regulation. Particular emphasis is placed on the molecular causes of disease. Presented in an A-Z format, the Encyclopedia contains over 2000 entries written by leading experts in genomics and proteomics. Entries comprise in-depth essays, illustrated with full-colour figures, and short entry keywords, which provide an opportunity for non-specialists to gain a more complete understanding of each topic through the explanation of specialist terminology. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM, which provides the full text and facilitated searches. The Encyclopedic Reference will be of value to clinical scientists in academia as well as industry, in addition to people working in related fields, students, teachers, and interested laypeople.
