Preface

Genome science or genomics is essential to advancing knowledge in the fields of biology and medicine. Specifically, researchers learn about the molecular biology behind genetic expression in living organisms and related methods of treating human genetic diseases (including gene therapy). Advances in Genome Science is an eBook series which provides a multi-disciplinary view of some of the latest developments in genome research, allowing readers to capture the essentiality and diversity of genomics in contemporary science.

The third volume of this eBook series contains a selection of articles illustrating how genome sequencing and the study of genome structure and epigenetic regulation remain at the center of some of the most exciting developments in the fields of biology as well as human disease research.
