Gene Cloning and Manipulation

Now fully updated to reflect recent advances, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of recombinant DNA techniques. Emphasis is placed on the concepts underlying particular types of cloning vectors to aid understanding and to enable readers to devise suitable strategies for novel experimental situations. A series of 'real-life' biological problems are also presented to enable readers to assess their understanding of the material and to prepare for exams.

• Covers a broad range of host organisms, from E. coli to mammals
• Focuses on the underlying principles thereby equipping the reader to devise appropriate strategies for novel situations and for use in their own research
• Contains example scenarios, which allow the reader to test their understanding of the material and apply it to 'real-life' research situations
