"The book deals with one of the most active areas of genomic science… It is a very comprehensive treatment of the subject from a practical and theoretical perspective. This book is significantly ahead of what is currently published."
Ronald Sederoff
North Carolina State University
"First, this book is extremely timely as genomics and gene mapping is an area undergoing exponential growth. Second, the coverage is indeed excellent. Third, Dr. Liu is extremely well qualified to write this book… he knows both the underlying theory as well as problems in applying it in real settings."
