Author Description

The preparation of gene probes is a central to much of molecular biology, creating essential tools for genetic research, and gene probes have a wide range of applications. The first volume covers preparation of the probes, the second describes some of their many applications, from the study of nucleic acids, through blotting techniques and gene targeting, to analysis of human genetic mutations. The two books are timely additions to the series, as this is a progressive field which continues to grow in importance.
