4. New Electronic Resource Features ISU Authors

The Encyclopedia of Genetics, Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics was published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. at the end of 2005. ISU contributors include Volker Brendel, Genetics, Development & Cell Biology and Xiaoqiu Huang, Computer Science.

How do I access the encyclopedia?

This full-text encyclopedia is available off-campus; you'll need a Library PIN number. You will find a record for the encyclopedia in the library's online catalog. Do a "Title" search in the catalog.

From the encyclopedia homepage:

"Edited by Lynn Jorde, Peter Little, Mike Dunn and Shankar Subramaniam, this is a fantastic resource that brings together for the first time all four fields of genetics, genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics in an online format for faster delivery of content to meet your dynamic research requirements."

"The focus is on studies based on the human and mouse genomes, but other important model eukaryotes, as well as pathogenic bacteria, are given in-depth coverage. With articles written by established leaders in the field as well as by rising stars, this work will be an essential reference tool for all members of genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and bioinformatics teams, from students, to post-docs, to senior scientists, and a 'must have' for university and research institute libraries. It will also provide a valuable resource for pharmaceutical and biotech companies that have an interest in this important and rapidly developing field."
