Gene Probes 2: A Practical Approach

by B. David Hames (Editor), S.J. Higgins (Editor)

Gene probes find a wide variety of uses in molecular biology, and are essential tools for genetic research. The advent of solid supports, new DNA labeling techniques, and PCR technology has created a need for an up-to-date practical manual in this area. Gene Probes (Applications), describes
techniques for specific research goals. It covers: hybridization strategies; choosing probes; screening and analysis of DNA libraries, including the use of PCR; blotting techniques, gene targeting; and analysis of human genetic mutations. Its companion volume, Gene Probes 1, describes the wide
rage of techniques now available for the purification, synthesis, labeling, detection, and quantitation of probes.
