The second edition of this book adds eight new contributors to reflect a modern cutting edge approach to genomics. It contains the newest research results on genomic analysis and modeling using state-of-the-art methods from engineering, statistics, and genomics. These tools and models are then applied to real biological and clinical problems. The book's original seventeen chapters are also updated to provide new initiatives and directions.

The 2nd edition of this book adds 8 new contributors to reflect a modern cutting edge approach to genomics. The expanded scope includes coverage of statistical issues on single nucleotide polymorphism analysis array, CGH analysis, SAGE analysis, gene shaving and related methods for microarray data analysis, and cross-hybridization issues on oligo arrays. The authors of the 17 original chapters have updated the contents of their chapters, including references, on such topics as the development of novel engineering, statistical and computational principles, as well as methods, models, and tools from these disciplines applied to genomics.
