Synopsis

If you are studying the biomolecular sciences - including biochemistry, biomedical sciences, biotechnology, genetics, microbiology and molecular biology - then this book will be an indispensable companion throughout the whole of your degree programme. It provides effective explanation and support for the development of a wide range of laboratory and data analysis skills that you will use time and again during the practical aspects of your studies. This book also gives you a solid grounding in the broader transferable skills, which are increasingly necessary to achieve a high level of academic success.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

'If a student has this book, it will be a good companion for the rest of his/ her student days and beyond' Dr Daniela Barillà, University of York

 

This book provides effective explanation and support for the development of a wide range of laboratory and data analysis skills that you will use time and again during the practical aspects of your studies. It also gives you a solid grounding in the broader transferable skills, which are increasingly necessary to achieve a high level of academic success.

 

Now in its fifth edition, Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences has been enhanced and updated throughout to provide a complete and easy-to-read guide to developing the skills you need from your first day through to graduation, further strengthening its reputation as the practical resource for students of the biomolecular sciences and related disciplines.

 

Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences:

 

·    Provides a 'one-stop' guide to the key practical and broader skills needed in biomolecular sciences, including comprehensive coverage of: study and examination skills; fundamental laboratory and analytical skills; investigative techniques and evaluation skills; analysis and presentation of data.

·    Contains numerous margin tips and hints, ‘how to’ boxes, checklists and examples.

·    Key points highlight the most important features of methodology.

·    Gives theoretical background to methods, to enhance understanding.

·    Includes numerous study exercises, references and sources for further study, along with over 70 new tips, definitions, examples, figures, tables and boxes.

·    Contains new/updated material on aspects of molecular genetics including next-generation sequencing and DNA profiling, and additional material on stable isotopes, photosynthesis and respiration.

·    Supported by a Companion Website containing answers to all of the study exercises, live links to additional sources, digital copies of all figures and a database of ‘how to’ boxes.
