GENETICA MOLECULAR BASICA PARA LA BIOINFORMATICA

Profesionales del mundo de la genética clásica que desean entender las bases moleculares de las técnicas moleculares (SNPs, transcriptómica, secuenciación, etc.) que se están introduciendo actualmente en el campo de la mejora genética y de la investigación en éste área.

SECTION 1.THE VERY BASIC OF GENOMES: STRUCTURE, CONTENT, FUNCTION
