Recent advances in the biosciences have led to a range of powerful new
technologies, particularly nucleic acid, protein and cell-based methodologies.
The most recent insights have come to affect how scientists investigate and
define cellular processes at the molecular level. This book expands upon the
techniques included in the first edition, providing theory, outlines of
practical procedures, and applications for a range of techniques. Written by a
well-established panel of research scientists, the book provides an up-to-date
collection of methods used regularly in the authors own research programs.
