Chemical Genetics and Chemical Genomics (Chapman & Hall/ CRC Mathematical Biology & Medicine Series)

Chemical genomics or chemogenomics is an emerging field devoted to developing chemical ligands using genomic tools and to applying chemical ligands in the genomic study of biological systems. Until now, no book has been available on this topic. Chemical Genetics and Chemical Genomics provides the first comprehensive analysis of chemical genomics in the form of expert reviews. Written by leadings scientists, each of the fourteen chapters discusses a specific area in chemical genomics and consists of historical overview, current state of the area, and future perspectives. Major areas include: biochemistry, technologies for chemical genomics, bioinformatics, and drug discovery.
