PCR Protocols

Drawing on the highly successful first edition, this newly-revised second edition covers the many advances made in PCR technology since the first book, which has been used in more than 10,000 laboratories worldwide. As PCR technology has advanced significantly since the first edition, and has expanded its use in the clinical laboratory of physician/researchers, the scope of this book is greatly expanded to enable researchers at all levels to easily reproduce and adapt PCR experiments to their own specific requirements. The meethods selected represent worked examples from many fields that can be reproduced and adapted for use within the reader's laboratory. The authors have provided both a primer to allow the reader to gain basic experience of different PCR techniques, as well as in-depth insight into a variety of the more complex applications of PCR. This book will be essential for the labs of all biochemists, molecular biologists, geneticists and researchers utilizing the PCR techinque in their work.
