Unfolding the Genome (Advances in Genome Biology)

This volume includes twelve chapters. The first chapter offers an overview on gene mapping and sequencing. The remaining eleven chapters are devoted to the methods most routinely employed in both clinical and basic research. A brief theoretical basis of each procedure has also been included. A request was made to each contributor to describe the protocols within the field of their expertise, as the intent of this issue is to promote awareness of current technical progress. Readers of this volume will find these experimental procedures highly applicable to their research endeavours.
