An Introduction to Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics
The analysis of DNA sequences contributes to evolutionary biology at all levels, from dating the origin of the biological kingdoms to untangling family relationships. This introductory text presents the fundamental concepts and intellectual tools needed to understand how the genome records information about the evolutionary past and processes, how that information can be 'read', and what kinds of questions we can use that information to answer. Starting with evolutionary principles, and illustrated throughout with biological examples, it offers an ideal starting point on the journey to an understanding of the way molecular data is used in modern biology
Next-Generation Sequencing and Sequence Data Analysis
Nucleic acid sequencing techniques have enabled researchers to determine the exact order of base pairs - and by extension, the information present - in the genome of living organisms. Consequently, our understanding of this information and its link to genetic expression at molecular and cellular levels has lead to rapid advances in biology, genetics, biotechnology and medicine. Next-Generation Sequencing and Sequence Data Analysis is a brief primer on DNA sequencing techniques and methods used to analyze sequence data. Readers will learn about recent concepts and methods in genomics such as sequence library preparation, cluster generation for PCR technologies, PED sequencing, genome assembly, exome sequencing, transcriptomics and more. This book serves as a textbook for students undertaking courses in bioinformatics and laboratory methods in applied biology. General readers interested in learning about DNA sequencing techniques may also benefit from the simple format of information presented in the book.
Techniques in Life Science
This book has been written to provide an introduction to key experimental techniques from across the biosciences. The upcoming global challenges for organisms demand a lot of researches to increase our knowledge to cope up with any adverse environmental situation. The basic research in life sciences needs to understand the biological techniques properly. Considering these requirements, the book uniquely integrates the theories and practices that drive the field of molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology etc. It comprehensively covers both the methods student will encounter in lab classes and those that underpin recent advances and discoveries. The older technical details like Gel-electrophoresis, Chromatography, Centrifugation, Spectroscopy etc will be helpful to grow the initial basic concepts for all type of biological researches while the modern techniques like CRISPRS, Biosensors, DNA sequencing etc will be helpful to develop skills about these upcoming technologies. Our goal is to develop the skills at degree level students in basic biological research that they will be able to plan successfully their own experiments and examine the results obtained.

A Hands-On Introduction to Forensic Science
One failing of many forensic science textbooks is the isolation of chapters into compartmentalized units. This format prevents students from understanding the connection between material learned in previous chapters with that of the current chapter. Using a unique format, A Hands-On Introduction to Forensic Science: Cracking the Case approaches the topic of forensic science from a real-life perspective in a way that these vital connections are encouraged and established. The book utilizes an ongoing fictional narrative throughout, entertaining students as it provides hands-on learning in order to "crack the case." As two investigators try to solve a missing persons case, each succeeding chap...
Avian Genomics in Ecology and Evolution
Birds catch the public imagination like no other group of animals; in addition, birders are perhaps the largest non-professional naturalist community. Genomics and associated bioinformatics have revolutionised daily life in just a few decades. At the same time, this development has facilitated the application of genomics technology to ecological and evolutionary studies, including biodiversity and conservation at all levels. This book reveals how the exciting toolbox of genomics offers new opportunities in all areas of avian biology. It presents contributions from prominent experts at the intersection of avian biology and genomics, and offers an ideal introduction to the world of genomics for students, biologists and bird enthusiasts alike. The book begins with a historical perspective on how genomic technology was adopted by bird ecology and evolution research groups. This led, as the book explains, to a revised understanding of avian evolution, with exciting consequences for biodiversity research as a whole. Lastly, these impacts are illustrated using seminal examples and the latest discoveries from avian biology laboratories around the world.
Computational Intelligence Techniques in Health Care
This book presents research on emerging computational intelligence techniques and tools, with a particular focus on new trends and applications in health care. Healthcare is a multi-faceted domain, which incorporates advanced decision-making, remote monitoring, healthcare logistics, operational excellence and modern information systems. In recent years, the use of computational intelligence methods to address the scale and the complexity of the problems in healthcare has been investigated. This book discusses various computational intelligence methods that are implemented in applications in different areas of healthcare. It includes contributions by practitioners, technology developers and solution providers.
Biotechnology and the Human Genome
This book is based on the proceedings of the Science Writers Workshop on "Biotechnology and the Human Genome: Innovations and Impacts" held at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on September 14-16, 1987. The aim of this workshop which was sponsored by the Office of Health and Environmental Research of the Department of Energy (DOE) was to provide a forum in which science writers, reporters and other interested individuals could gain a firsthand knowledge about the scope and direction of the human genome initi ative and its supportive technologies. The speakers were leaders working in scientific disciplines that are either integral parts of the Department's genome project or that represent im...
