Full Description
This thorough introductory volume presents the background, applications, and stepwise directions for standard DNA and RNA isolation techniques. Unlike a kit chemistry approach, this book provides a breadth of information necessary for junior or non-expert researchers to learn and apply these techniques in their work. An accessible, indispensable how-to guide for researchers in immunology, molecular biology, zoology, forensic science, genetics, botany, neuroscience, physiology, and others.
