Clinical Gene Analysis and Manipulation: Tools, Techniques and Troubleshooting (Postgraduate Medical Science)

This practical compendium provides clinical scientists with an essential guide to the basic techniques of molecular medicine. It serves as a laboratory manual and a source of reference. It is suitable for those wishing to perform basic semi-quantitative experiments such as Northern or Southern blots and also those wishing to undertake more specialised genetic manipulations such as gene cloning, expression and creation of DNA libraries. It will give clinical scientists a unique insight into the potential of these techniques. As stated by Sir David Weatherall: 'It should be of great value to both established research workers and young scientists coming into the field for the first time. It deserves every success.'

This helpful and practical compendium provides clinical scientists with an essential guide to the basic techniques of molecular medicine. It serves as a laboratory manual and a source of reference, and helps bridge the gap from protocol to publication.
