Overview
Many scientists find themselves working with genes in the laboratory without sufficient background in current biotechnology methods. Others want to keep up with the revolution in biotechnology and the associated flood of new methodologies. Methods in Gene Biotechnology provides the complete, broad-based coverage that researchers and students require to understand and apply today's biotechnology techniques. It discusses a wide variety of approaches, from very basic methods to the latest, most sophisticated technologies.
Written by a team of internationally recognized scientists and scholars, Methods in Gene Biotechnology offers several notable features typically lacking in other works on the subject. The book presents protocol recipes, and also provides clear and simple explanations of the key principles and concepts behind the methods. It includes useful troubleshooting guides to help solve experimental problems, presenting a single, logically organized source for all the most important new methodologies. This unique resource provides the tools for success in molecular and cellular biology research today.
Covers state-of-the-art technologies, incl. latest information on gene manipulation methods, etc.

Covers a wide range of current methods and protocols used in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and immunology, including rapid isolation of specific cDNAs or genes by PCR; construction and screening of cDNA and genomic DNA libraries; preparation of databases; characterization by Southern or western blot hybridization; "in situ" hybridization techniques; gene over- and underexpression; and new strategies for gene knockout. The methods are particularly useful for graduate students and for molecular and cellular biologists. Plastic comb binding. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
