Detailed description
Presents techniques tested at the Curie Institute and other leading labs and lists all commercially available enzymes, vectors, linkers, and other basic products for ready reference. Offers detailed explanation of protocols, allowing the isolation, cloning, and expression of genes from living species. Presents up-to-date techniques on sequencing, in vitro expression of cloned gene, and use of computers for study of nucleic acids, and is the only book that shows how to isolate DNA-protein complexes and new methods for mutagenesis of cloned genes. Contains 235 figures and 80 tables.
