Now in its fifth edition and for the first time available as an electronic product with all entries cross-linked.
This very successful long-seller has once again been thoroughly updated and greatly expanded. It now contains over 13,000 entries, and comprehensively covering genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. Each entry contains an extensive explanation, including a comprehensive listing of synonyms and acronyms, and all formulas have been redrawn to create a uniform style, while most of the figures are custom designed for this dictionary.
The ultimate reference for all terms in the -omics fields.

"...this book should be available within hand's reach for everyone who is enthusiastically involved with molecular biology and gene technology."
Angewandte Chemie
"This book is much more than what its concise title implies - it is more than a mere dictionary, in the sense of a collection of terms and acronyms, but rather a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating read, and in fact an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era." Trends in Molecular Medicine
" This precious piece cannot be missed in any library or laboratory, nor on any desk!" BioTec
"Physically the book is beautifully presented on high quality paper and one aspect that I particulary like is the plethora of illustrations. ... this book would make a useful addition to any academic library."
School of Biosciences, Univ. of Birmingham, ISSX newsletter
"...essential for students, faculty, and researchers in genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology..."
