This detailed volume explores the state of research into the obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia, in order to understand its biology and pathogenesis after the advent of genetics and new research tools. The book covers a comprehensive range of topics including infection models, imaging methods, gene expression analysis, genetic manipulation, and assays of the intracellular infection. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and practical, Chlamydia trachomatis: Methods and Protocols serves as a vital resource for scientists working to study this important bacterial pathogen that is a prevalent cause of human infection and disease.Chapters 13, 22, and 23 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This thorough volume provides an in-depth introduction to and discussion of microRNAs (miRs) and their targets, miR functions, and computational techniques applied in miR research, thus serving the need for a comprehensive book focusing on miR target genes, miR regulation mechanisms, miR functions performed in various human diseases, and miR databases/knowledgebases. Without prior knowledge of the area of study, computational biologists, computer scientists, bioinformaticians, bench biologists, as well as clinical investigators will find it easy to follow the techniques in this collection. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the kind of detailed implementation advice that ensures successful results. Accessible and practical, Bioinformatics in MicroRNA Research functions as an ideal guide for researchers of all backgrounds to explore this vital area of study.
