Full Description
Edited by one of the pioneers and leading experts in this field, this is the first book dedicated to the hot interdisciplinary topic of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) typing methods. The authors are equally internationally recognized experts and examine here alongside the identification of SNPs, the design and fabrication of biochips. The whole is rounded off with a survey of clinical applications, making this an invaluable resource for the medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and materials technology.
