This volume is a thoroughly modern textbook about genomes and how they are investigated. As with the previous instalment, techniques come first, then genome anatomies, followed by genome function and finally genome evolution. The genomes of all types of organism are covered: viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals including humans and other hominids.
