About this title

Synopsis

This work describes the remarkable developments in the detection of inherited or acquired genetic mutations. Focusing on the advances in DNA technology, the book examines new methods for large-scale genome mapping, DNA sequencing and protein structure analysis. The progress of molecular diagnostics in revealing significant human disease genes and in understanding DNA damage and repair is also discussed in the state-of-the-art work. Significant discussions underscore the pervasive and powerful influence of the polymerase chain reaction in all areas of DNA manipulation and analysis.
