Publisher's Synopsis
This book is divided into two parts: research strategies and laboratory protocols. Chapters in the strategies section illustrate how molecular techniques can be introduced into developing research programs. Emphasis is given to discussion of the pros and cons of the approaches. Protocols are grouped into the second section of the book, with careful cross-referencing throughout. Each protocol includes an introduction/rationale, a list of reagents/solutions, itemized steps, and parenthetical notations that clarify or help to avoid difficulties.
