Chemogenomics and Chemical Genetics A User's Introduction for Biologists, Chemists and Informaticians
Biological and chemical sciences have undergone an unprecedented transformation, reflected by the huge use of parallel and automated technologies in key fields such as genome sequencing, DNA chips, nanoscale functional biology or combinatorial chemistry. It is now possible to generate and store from...
