Cantor, former director of the Human Genome Project, and Cassandra L. Smith give the first integral overview of the strategies and technologies behind the Human Genome Project and the field of molecular genetics and biotechnology. Written with a range of readers in mind-from chemists and biologists to computer scientists and engineers-the book begins with a review of the basic properties of DNA and the chromosomes that package it in cells. The authors describe the three main techniques used in DNA analysis-hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and electrophoresis-and present a complete exploration of DNA mapping in its many different forms. By explaining both the theoretical principles and practical foundations of modern molecular genetics to a wide audience, the book brings the scientific communi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"this book is to be highly recommended...\"(Human Genetics, May 2000)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDNA Chemistry and Biology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A Genome Overview at the Level of Chromosomes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Analysis of DNA Sequences by Hybridization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Polymerase Chain Reaction and Other Methods for In Vitro DNA Amplification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Principles of DNA Electrophoresis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Genetic Analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cytogenetics and Pseudogenetics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Physical Mapping.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Enhanced Methods for Physical Mapping.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e DNA Sequencing: Current Tactics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Strategies for Large-Scale DNA Sequencing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Future DNA Sequencing Without Length Fractionation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Finding Genes and Mutations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sequence-Specific Manipulation of DNA.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Results and Implications of Large-Scale DNA Sequencing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402642596183,"sku":"9780471599081","price":183.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471599081.jpg?v=1730481074","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/genomics-9780471599081","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
