7th Edition
by T. A. Brown (Author)
Known world-wide as the standard introductory text to this important and exciting area, the seventh edition of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis
addresses new and growing areas of research whilst retaining the
philosophy of the previous editions. Assuming the reader has little
prior knowledge of the subject, its importance, the principles of the
techniques used and their applications are all carefully laid out, with
over 250 clearly presented four-colour illustrations.
In addition
to a number of informative changes to the text throughout the book, the
chapters on DNA sequencing and genome studies have been rewritten to
reflect the continuing rapid developments in this area of DNA analysis:
- In
depth description of the next generation sequencing methods and
descriptions of their applications in studying genomes and
transcriptomes
- New material on the use of ChiP-seq to locate protein-binding sites
- Extended coverage of the strategies used to assemble genome sequences
- Description
of how the Neanderthal genome has been sequenced and what that sequence
tells us about interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens
Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis
remains an essential introductory text to a wide range of biological
sciences students; including genetics and genomics, molecular biology,
biochemistry, immunology and applied biology. It is also a perfect
introductory text for any professional needing to learn the basics of
the subject. All libraries in universities where medical, life and
biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies available
on their shelves.
