The 4th edition of Genomes has been completely revised and updated to make it a thoroughly modern textbook about genomes and how they are investigated. As with the 3rd edition, techniques come first, then genome anatomies, followed by genome function, and finally genome evolution. The genomes of all types of organism are covered: bacteria, plants, and animals including humans and other hominids. Genomes 4 is the ideal text for upper level courses focused on genomes and genomics.
