Protocols in Human Molecular Genetics

posted in Molecular Biology |

Protocols in Human Molecular Genetics highlights the tremendous advances in our ability to work on the human genome that have emerged in the past few years. The latest techniques are set forth in the clear, concise, easy-to-follow format that is the hallmark of Humana’s Methods in Molecular Biology series. Nearly two-thirds of the book is devoted to describing practical procedures comprising the widest range of new methodologies in human molecular genetics, with the rest focusing on their specific experimental and clinical applications. An essential tool for everyone-whether novice or seasoned expert-involved in the rapidly growing area of human genome studies.

Authors: Mathew, Christopher G.
