Genomics Applications for the Developing World [Paperback]

This book evolved from the editors strong belief that the information and new developments that were evolving from the rapidly growing field of genomics and that are happening primarily in the developed world have not happened at a parallel rate in the developing world. One would have hoped that by now the technologies and approaches would have been adapted on a far greater scale. In addition to this, the associated information is not always easily accessible, and is not disseminated in a format that can become a useful reference for scientists, students and others who reside in developing countries.This book follows from the editors' strong belief that information and new developments from the growing field of genomics have not reached the developing world, and is intended to benefit scientists and students in developing countries.
