Non-Isotopic Methods in Molecular Biology: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series, 153)

Radioactive chemicals, while playing a vital role in many research and clinical techniques for nucleic acid analysis, are considered dangerous to the laboratory worker and require specialist handling and disposal equipment. This book describes how detailed molecular analysis of DNA and RNA can be performed using a range of non-radioactive chemicals giving similar if not better results than the radioactive methods. It will be a valuable book for molecular biologists and pathologists in academic and clinical research and also those working in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
