Product Description
The technique of DNA Sequencing lies at the heart of modern molecular biology. Since current methods were first introduced, sequence databases have grown exponentially, and are now an indispensable research tool. This up-to-date, practical guide is unique in covering all aspects of the methodology of DNA sequencing, as well as sequence analysis. It describes the basic methods (both manual and automated) and the more advanced techniques (for example, those based on PCR) before moving on to key applications. The final section focuses on the analysis of sequence data; it details the
software available, and explains how the Internet can be used for accessing
software and major databases.
By explaining the options available and their merits,
DNA Sequencing allows newcomers to the field to decide which method is the most suitable for their application. For experienced sequencers the book is a useful reference source for details of the less common techniques and as a means of updating knowledge.
