From the reviews: "This book includes a compendium of methods and protocols derived from functional genomics that have been developed during the last decade ... . The book is organized in chapters written by leading researchers from different groups ... . Large scale phenotyping is also described with protocols suitable for application in different lab conditions. ... Gramene database is presented as an example of integrated information ... derived from different species, providing details of the information gathered in it as well as available tools for sequence comparisons."
