Acute Ethanol Regulation of Gene Expression Systems in Drosophila

This book is a comprehensive approach to all of the bioinformatic, behavioural and genetic methodologies that could be employed in clarifying the mechanisms and biology underlying alcohol dependence. It is very useful for researchers, clinicians, laboratory heads and managers from both biology and bioinformatics backgrounds, who use or intend to use microarrays or other transcriptomics technologies in analysing complex disease traits. This book¿s coverage is broad and ranges across most of the bioinformatics and genetics you will need to successfully analyse and validate DNA microarray data. It has evolved from my over three years of doctoral research on the genetics of alcohol addiction using Drosophila as a model, and thus would be suitable for researchers in the area at postgraduate or professional level.
