The general underlying theme of "Gene Mapping, Discovery, and Expression" is DNA-sequence-based technologies. At one level, the book highlights the importance of databases, genome-browsers, and web-based tools for data access and analysis. This volume also provides a computational protocol for identifying and mapping recent segmental and gene duplications, as well as step-by-step procedures for identifying paralogous genes, using the genome browser at UCSC. Lastly, several chapters in this volume offer non-invasive technologies for the isolation of transcription factor complexes formed with specific DNA sequences used as bait. These methods can lead to the discovery of novel transcription factors with important roles in the control of gene expression.
