Biology, Computing, and the History of Molecular Sequencing: From Proteins to DNA, 1945-2000 (Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History)
When we talk about DNA sequencing, it is the relatively recent Human Genome Project and the so-called 'genomics revolution' which immediately come to mind. Medical books Biology, Computing, and the History of Molecular Sequencing. However, sequencing has a longer and more complex history which penetrates key issues of post-World War II biomedicine, such as the interplay of protein chemistry and molecular biology, and the growing interaction between biology and computing. In this, the first academic history of sequencing, Miguel García-Sancho follows the development of this form of molecular analysis to offer a new insight into the development of biomedicine during the second half of the twentieth century. He explores the emergence of the first protein and DNA techniques, the development of sequencing software and databases, and the commercialisation of the first automatic sequencers by the company Applied Biosystems. This vital historical perspective will allow both professionals and scholars to think rather differently about the emerging fields of bioinformatics and biotechnology, as well as the impact of biomedicine on modern society more broadly Medical books Biology, Computing, And The History Of Molecular Sequencing: From Proteins To Dn. author miguel garcia sancho format hardback language english publication year 11 05 2012 series science technology and medicine in modern history subject mathematics sciences subject 2 science mathematics textbooks study guides title biology computing and the history of molecular sequencing from proteins to dna 1945 2000 author garcia sancho miguel publisher palgrave macmillan publication date may 08 2012 pages 248 binding hardcover dimensions 5 51 wx 8 58 hx 0 79 d isbn 0230250327 subject his
