Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-06 00:00:00 Jamie Swartz This edition seemed merely a reshuffling of the previous one. There was not a lot of updated info despite the major advances and expansion in the field. The author has not attempted to incorporate new technological advances (e.g. high-throughput sequencing) nor does the author have a good grasp of the major trends in software used in the field. Most of the software programs recommended by the author were obscure. I knew of better programs more robust and more widely accepted than the ones he recommended. While there is a glut of software programs out there and researchers have a lot to choose from this was definitely not a strong part of the book. However, it is a good introduction to the field and gets the basics going. The last chapter on GMOs need to be dropped. To end a book about such a rapidly expanding field on such a mundane topic is a major letdown.
