Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES"Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist—for whom the numerous references will be invaluable—but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell." --BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
