Since Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was first described in 1985, the range of applications of the technique have expanded enormously. This comprehensive, up-to-date volume covers a diverse range of PCR applications, including detection of genetic mutations, detection of foodborne pathogens, forensic applications, determination of relationships among different plant species, generation of labeled probes, screening of lambda and cosmid libraries, and many more. Several chapters deal with the mechanics of the PCR technique itself and give practical advice on such topics as primer design, choice of polymerase, and optimum reaction parameters. The comprehensive nature and practicality of the book make it an important acquisition for both new and experienced researchers in the field.Griffin, Hugh G. is the author of 'Pcr Technology Current Innovations' with ISBN 9780849386749 and ISBN 0849386748.
