Science List

An exhaustive guide to the handling, interpretation, and application of information contained in the sequence of DNA, this resource is an essential tool for academic, industrial, and private researchers in the field of life sciences.

This comprehensive reference for novice students and experienced scientists studying DNA in organisms compares and evaluates the technological choices available in detecting genetic variances in pharmacogenomics.

The book provides both an introduction and detailed overview of microarray technologies in academic and industrial settings. It examines evolving technology standards for microarray research, explores automation and instrumentation in the array laboratory, and discusses in detail the set up and operation of a microarray core facility.

With the advent of ChIP on chip (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation on Microarrays or Chips) the research community has been given a new, powerful and high throughput option. This book aims to not only introduce the power of this technology but specifically to provide detailed protocols as to how to perform a ChIP on chip experiment.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to RNAi experimentation and provides in depth coverage of the application of this technology in plants, flies and mammalian cells. The chapters reflect recent developments in this rapidly growing field.

This book offers the basics of machine vision and image analysis for biologists, “how-to” approach to microarray image analysis, and practical tips for both the novice in this field and the advanced user.

This book focuses on a technology widely used for screening of unknown sequence variants, namely denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). The book presents various other applications of this technology such as methylation studies, cloning, and RNA.

Nearly 25 years after robotics became a field of study unto itself, this book examines the realities of robot use in industry, the home, institutions, and governmental organizations such as NASA.

A must-have book for any molecular biology researcher and student who are interested in microRNAs. Written by experts in the field.
