Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods

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 an earlier volume: 'Each author is an expert in the field, and large amounts of tabular or graphic data are provided...an excellent reference volume and would be appropriate as a graduate text.' American Society for Microbiology News
