Reviews

This is the first time I have seen a volume on genomics from the island of Cyprus. ... The chapters are well written, are of high quality, and the references cited reflect an intimate knowledge of current literature. ... This is a useful source for an introduction to the noncoding regions of the human genome. (Krishna Dronamraju, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 92 (2), June, 2017)
