Handbook of Molecular and Cellular Methods in Biology and Medicine

This handbook will help you properly understand and use the major biological techniques. The authors cover a wide range of techniques and methods that have been developed and extensively tested including: isolation and purification of DNA, RNA, and proteins; DNA sequencing; transcription in vitro and translation in vitro; gene transfer and analysis of gene expression in transgenic animals and plants; and more. Each chapter provides the principles behind the method, easy-to-follow instructions to perform the technique, the reagents and materials required, and references for further study. Anyone in the biological or medical field should have this guide on their lab bench.
