Kurzbeschreibung
Recent developments within molecular biology and genetic engineering have led to huge advances and changes within the biological sciences especially within the field of human genetics. Written by leading professionals in the field, Diagnostic Techniques in Genetics offers a comprehensive overview of how DNA or RNA technology may be applied to a large set of genetic diagnoses.
The first part of the book focuses on DNA/RNA applications and includes many of the latest developments in the field combined with routine procedures of genetic diagnoses, for example cloning and sequencing DNA. The DNA applications presented in the first chapter are then each applied to a specific kind of genetic diagnosis, and the text concludes with a chapter devoted to the important topic of population genetics.
Einen breit gefächerten Überblick über die Anwendungen von DNA- und RNA-Technologien im Rahmen genetischer Diagnosen biette Ihnen dieser Band. Bewusst vermeidet es der Autor, allzu sehr ins Detail zu gehen; er wendet sich an Studenten unterer Semester, legt deshalb besonderen Wert auf Verständlichkeit und behandelt vorrangig Themen von allgemeinem Interesse, sodass Sie ein solides Fundament für weiter gehende Spezialisierungen aufbauen können.
