With contributions from 66 world-renowned authorities on the subject, "Genomics and Proteomics in Nutrition" focuses on the effect of genetic expression on protein production, establishing links between gene expression and nutrition, the influence of micro and macronutrients on cellular homeostasis, and the relationship between diet, genetic predisposition, and human disease. Applying innovations in microarray technology to clinical practice, this reference explores advances in our understanding of obesity, birth defects, and cancer, and shows how bioinformatics and functional genomic databases can transform molecular biology research using a yeast ELO2/ human HELO1 protein cloning example.
