Jane K. Setlow, PhD. has championed the field of genetics for over 30 years, agreeing to edit Genetic Engineering: Principles & Methods since its inception in 1979. An internationally recognized scientist with numerous publications, Dr. Setlow is the former Chairperson of the NIH Recombinant DNA Molecule Advisory Committee (RAC). Her lab can found at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York.

From a review of a previous volume: 'The purpose of these volumes is to follow closely the explosion of new techniques and information that is occuring as the result of the newly-acquired ability to make...precise cuts in DNA molecules. The series continues to fulfill that lofty objective.' ASM News
