Species Diagnostics Protocols: Pcr and Other Nucleic Acid Methods (Methods in Molecular Biology)

In Species Diagnostics Protocols leading practitioners describe in full detail numerous methods for identifying many organisms by means of nucleic acid analysis. The applications range from medical diagnosis and plant pathology to medical entomology, mycology, and molecular ecology. The organisms identified include plant, insect, and vertebrate DNA; viruses (phytopathogenic, HIV, human papilloma, dengue); bacteria; fungi; protozoans; parasites; and mosquitoes. The detailed techniques can easily be modified for use with many other and novel species. Species Diagnostics Protocols is the only book available dealing solely with the identification of species using molecular techniques. Its detailed, step-by-step instructions and extensive notes on pitfalls ensure success even for those with little prior experience.
