New edition of a world-renowned introductory text to the rapidly-growing and dynamic field of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis is a comprehensive introductory text that explores all of the topics vital for a complete understanding of gene cloning and DNA analysis. Presented in full color, the text’s easy-to-follow layout and over 250 clear illustrations make the material simple and accessible for a diverse readership. This newly revised and updated Ninth Edition highlights new developments in DNA sequencing technology and provides extended coverage on DNA editing including CRISPR methodology and its applications in gene therapy and plant genetic engineering. This edition also contains updates on topics including optical mapping of DNA molecules, studying transcriptomes in situ, RNA interference methods for silencing genes in crop plants, studying kinship by DNA profiling, and using ancient DNA to study human prehistory and palaeogenomics. Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis also discusses topics such as: The strategies used by researchers and industry practitioners to assemble telomere-to-telomere chromosome sequencesThe synthesis of recombinant vaccines for diseases such as COVID-19 and hepatitis BInterbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo sapiensThe ethical issues raised by the use of gene cloning and DNA editing in pharming, gene therapy and plant genetic modificationThe Ninth Edition of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis continues to be an essential reference for undergraduate and graduate students within the fields of genetics and genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, and applied biology, as well as professionals in all areas of biological science.

Labfax volumes are purpose-designed data reference books for practicing scientists. Each book presents key information for a major subject in one place and therefore saves hours of searching. The authors and editors of each Labfax volume have searched the original literature for the accurate data which they know the specialist needs. Clearly presented information Divided into two separate parts on recombinant DNA and gene analysis Provides key information on techniques, sources, and equipment for anyone using molecular biological techniques

In the eight years since the original publication of Molecular Biology Labfax, there has been a vast proliferation of molecular biology techniques. The Second Edition has been divided into two parts: Recombinant DNA, and Gene Analysis. Together they comprise a comprehensive collection of the most up-to-date methods available in molecular biology. This second volume of the two-part Second Edition provides key information on nucleic acid blotting and hybridization, DNA sequencing, PCR, labelingnucleic acids, electrophoresis, centrifugation, chemicals and reagents, and safety. Molecular Biology Labfax will be essential for scientists of all disciplines within the life sciences who use molecular biological techniques. Provides most up-to-date information on techniques, sources, and equipment for anyone using molecular biological techniques Clearly presented information Divided into two parts which together comprise a complete collection of molecular biological methods

Accurate analysis of blood gases is vital to give information on a patient's respiratory and circulation state as well as the adequacy of resuscitation. This book guides the reader, with the help of clarifying cartoons, through the basic principles and a new and easy to grasp system of interpretation.

Genetics today is inexorably focused on DNA. The theme of Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach is therefore the progression from molecules (DNA and genes) to processes (gene expression and DNA replication) to systems (cells, organisms and populations). This progression reflects both the basic logic of life and the way in which modern biological research is structured. The molecular approach is particularly suitable for the large number of students for whom genetics is a part of a broader program in biology, biochemistry, the biomedical sciences, and biotechnology. Introduction to Genetics presents the basic facts and concepts with enough depth of knowledge to stimulate students to move on to more advanced aspects of the subject. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the function of the gene as a unit of biological information. Part 2 studies the role of the gene as a unit of inheritance. And Part 3 explores some of the areas of research that are responsible for the high profile that genetics has in our modern world, from agriculture and industry to medicine and forensics, and the ethical challenges that genetic knowledge imparts. Introduction to Genetics is available for purchase as an e-book in its entirety or as individual chapters, and as a 1-year or 6-month rental.

Illustrated thoroughly, Biomolecular Archaeology is the first book to clearly guide students through the study of ancient DNA: how to analyze biomolecular evidence (DNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) to address important archaeological questions. The first book to address the scope and methods of this new cross-disciplinary area of research for archaeologistsOffers a completely up-to-date overview of the latest research in this innovative subjectGuides students who wish to become biomolecular archaeologists through the complexities of both the scientific methods and archaeological goals.Provides an essential component to undergraduate and graduate archaeological research
