Reviews

Human genomes are being intensively studied worldwide not only because of their importance in the fields of medicine and healthcare but also because a large number of personal genomes, which cover wide varieties of human races, have become available from international DNA databanks because of revolutionary advances in DNA sequencing technologies. By combining worldwide spatiotemporal studies on ultraviolet radiation with those on racial sequence diversity of a gene related with melanin production, researchers have clarified the geographically localized adaptive evolution among human races. This finding provides not only the fundamental knowledge of the adaptive evolution of human skin pigmentation but also valuable information for research in medicine and healthcare. The massive amount of sequence data can be utilized in any scientific field of research and is especially helpful for those involved in collaborative work on genomes and in developing new, promising, and interdisciplinary studies. This book introduces a pioneering study on this intendment. -Prof. Emeritus Toshimichi Ikemura, Nagahama Institute of Bio-Science and Technology, Japan This book by Dr. Anno is a compilation of cutting-edge research in bioinformatics and computational biology and is authored by leading scientists and researchers in the field. It contains numerous worked examples, discussion problems, and a wide range of exercises for education. Since current systems for reporting electrochemical nanofabrication studies make it hard to assess whether the observed interactions are reproducible, the book also gives suggestions for improvements in this area. -Prof. Ming-An Lee, National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan
