From Genes to Genomes : Concepts and Applications of DNA Technology

Rapid Advances In A Collection Of Techniques Referred To As Gene Technology, Genetic Engineering, Recombinant Dna Technology And Gene Cloning Have Pushed Molecular Biology To The Forefront Of The Biological Sciences. How To Clone A Gene -- Genomic And Cdna Libraries -- Polymerase Chain Reaction (pcr) -- Sequencing A Cloned Gene -- Analysis Of Gene Expression -- Products From Native And Manipulated Cloned Genes -- Genomic Analysis -- Analysis Of Genetic Variation -- Post-genomic Analysis -- Modifying Organisms : Transgenics. Jeremy W. Dale, Malcolm Von Schantz, And Nick Plant. Previous Ed.: 2007. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.

The latest edition of this highly successful textbook introduces the key techniques and concepts involved in cloning genes and in studying their expression and variation.
The new edition features:

• Increased coverage of whole-genome sequencing technologies and enhanced treatment of bioinformatics.
• Clear, two-colour diagrams throughout.
• A dedicated website including all figures.
  

Noted for its outstanding balance between clarity of coverage and level of detail, this book provides an excellent introduction to the fast moving world of molecular genetics.
