Mutation Detection: A Practical Approach


Add your own review!

Overview

Mutation detection is increasingly undertaken in a wide spectrum of research areas: in medicine it is fundamental in isolating disease genes and diagnosis, and is especially important in cancer research; in biology, commercially important genes can be identified by the mutations they contain. But mutation detection is time-consuming and expensive. This volume offers tried and tested protocols for a range of detection methods, from the labs of researchers in the field.

Reviews

This book will be useful to laboratory workers in both biolgoy and medicine. It provides practical guidance on tested protocols covering a range of detection methods, including both scanning mode, used for unknown mutations, and the diagnostic mode which tests for know mutations. This practical manual is a welcomed addition to this well-known series. ASLIB Book Guide, Vol.63, no.7 '...will provide a valuable resource both for those new to the area and for more experienced mutation detectives...' Trends in Genetics vol.15, no.1
