Discovering Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics is the first textbook for upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students which combines integrated web exercises with a problem-solving approach to train students in basic hands-on genomic analysis. The authors present global problems, then provide the tools of genomic analysis to help students dissect the answer, thus encouraging critical thinking skills. Short boxed readings called “Math Minutes” explain the math behind the biology. Microarray images and all art and figures from the text are available on the free image presentation CD-ROM. The Discovering Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics website helps students learn about cutting-edge research and visualize complex processes. This integrated learning package sets the standard for material in the exciting new field of genomics.

Discovering Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics is the first in a series of books to be co-published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press and Benjamin Cummings.

• First genomics textbook written for students that focuses on the process of doing genomic analysis and thinking from a genomics perspective.

• Inquiry approach gives students hands-on practice and builds problem-solving skills. Students learn to use databases and how to extract pertinent information.

• Math Minutes supply brief tutorials that reveal the math behind the biology and illustrate how investigators apply math in solving specific biology problems.

• Discovery Questions appear throughout each chapter and ask students to consider what is happening in a particular example or case study, thus engaging students in taking a genomic approach to real-world problems.

• Case studies and real-world examples provide a context for understanding the experiments and results.

• Integrated multimedia and web resources direct students to a full methods index, relevant web links and animations that allow them to research and analyze real genomics data as they work their way through each chapter. Icons in the text alert students to these media tools.
