DNA Sequencing - book by Hindley, J.

DESCRIPTION: This volume provides a comprehensive description of the principles and methods used in DNA sequencing. Following a detailed introduction the chapters are: DNA sequencing; Chain terminator sequencing; Primed synthesis methods applied to DNA fragments cloned into phage M13; DNA sequenci... view more info and the price of this book.

Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents, Volume 1 - book by Hurley, L.H.

DESCRIPTION: This volume is aimed in general at scientists who have an interest in deciphering the molecular mechanisms for sequence recognition of DNA. The methods have general applicability to small molecules as well as oligomers and proteins, while the examples provide general principles involved... view more info and the price of this book.

Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents, Volume 2 - book by Chaires, J.B.

DESCRIPTION: DNA sequence specificity is a sub-specialty in the general area of molecular recognition. This area includes macromolecular-molecular interactions (e.g., protein-DNA), oligomer-DNA interacitons (e.g., triple strands), and ligand-DNA interactions (e.g., drug-DNA). It is this latter group... view more info and the price of this book.

Unfolding the Genome - book by Verma, R.S.

DESCRIPTION: This volume includes twelve chapters. The first chapter offers an overview on gene mapping and sequencing. The remaining eleven chapters are devoted to the methods most routinely employed in both clinical and basic research. A brief theoretical basis of each procedure has also been incl... view more info and the price of this book.

Morbid Anatomy of the Genome - book by Verma, R.S.

DESCRIPTION: The technical advances in molecular biology have endowed us with a wealth of knowledge, which has allowed us to identify the cause of diseases not only at a single gene level but at a greater magnitude, where a substitution or deletion of a single base pair can be identified. Our presen... view more info and the price of this book.

Genetics of Human Neoplasia, Part A - book by Verma, R.S.

DESCRIPTION: The underlying idea that cancer is a genetic disease at the cellular level was postulated over 75 years ago when Boveri hypothesised that the malignant cell was one that had obtained an abnormal chromatin content. However, it has been only the last decade where enormous strides have bee... view more info and the price of this book.

Genetics of Sex Determination - book by Verma, R.S.

DESCRIPTION: The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection by R.A. Fisher (1930) dictated that sexual dimorphisms may depend upon a single medelian factor. This could be true for some species but his suggestion could not take off the ground as gender in Drosophila is determined by the number of X chromo... view more info and the price of this book.

Genes and Genomes, Part A - book by Verma, R.S.

DESCRIPTION: The laws of inheritance were considered quite superficial until 1903, when the chromosome theory of heredity was established by Sutton and Boveri. The discovery of the double helix and the genetic code led to our understanding of gene structure and function. For the past quarter of a ce... view more info and the price of this book.

Molecular and Cellular Genetics - book by Bittar, E.E.;Bittar, N.

DESCRIPTION: The tools of molecular biology have revolutionised our understanding of gene structure and function and changed the teaching of genetics in a fundamental way. The transition from classical genetics to molecular genetics was initiated by two discoveries. One was the discovery that DNA ha... view more info and the price of this book.

Telomerase, Aging and Disease - book by Mattson, M.P.

DESCRIPTION: This volume of Advances in Cell Aging and Gerontology critically reviews the rapidly advancing area of telomerase research with a focus at the molecular and cellular levels. The clearly established function of telomerase is to maintain chromosome ends during successive rounds of cell d... view more info and the price of this book.

Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents, Volume 4 - book by Chapman, B.J.

DESCRIPTION: This series encompasses design, synthesis, application, and analytical methods (including clinical and in vitro) for the study of these critical interactions. As our understanding of the genome and proteome expands, general developments in the field of DNA sequence specific interaction... view more info and the price of this book.

Genome Science: towards a new paradigm? - book by Yoshikawa, H.;Ogasawara, N.;Satoh, N.

DESCRIPTION: These proceedings present cutting-edge topics in genome science and collect the contributions for 32 eminent experts in this field. In the past years, genomes of many species, from bacteria to human, have been sequenced. A paradigm shift will be experienced in research as genome scienc... view more info and the price of this book.

Adeno-associated Virus Vectors for Gene Therapy, 31 - book by Flotte, Terence R.;Berns, Kenneth I.

DESCRIPTION: Written by well-known experts in the field, this is a timely update on Adeno-associated virus used in gene therapy. The 10 chapters cover gene therapy in specific diseases such as hemophilia, kidney diseases, and disordes of the central nervous system.
