Genome Science, Towards a New Paradigm: Invited Papers of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium on Genome Science: Towards a New Paradigm, Held in ... 5 June 2002 (International Congress Series)

These proceedings present cutting-edge topics in genome science and collect the contributions for 32 eminent experts in this field.In the past years, genomes of many species, from bacteria to human, have been sequenced. A paradigm shift will be experienced in research as genome science replaces molecular biology as the most powerful way to study the structure and dynamics of life.This volume is divided into five sections:In "Genomic view of the cell", the authors discuss the progress made in understanding the universality and diversity of cellular functions based on genomic information. "Genomic view of development" is concerned with characteristic features of multi-cellular organisms. In "Human genome", technologies both for experimental and computational analysis of polymorphism, genome imprinting, transcriptome and proteome of various human cells and tissues are discussed in order to apply the knowled
