Gene Cloning gives an overview of the techniques available to clone genes and how they can be used effectively in both pure and applied research, showing how cloning genes is an integral part of genomics and relevant in the post-genomic age. It also covers applications of gene cloning in medicine, both for diagnosis and treatment, and in the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture. Topics are illustrated using examples based on genuine experiments and published results from the scientific literature. Examples are taken from the full range of living organisms from bacteria through single celled eukaryotes to plants, animals and humans, including examples of medical importance.
Written by experienced lecturers, Gene Cloning takes a fresh approach to teaching molecular and cellular biology being based in the practical side of the recombinant DNA revolution and will be a valuable resource to both students and lecturers of biological and biomedical science courses.
