Protocols used in Molecular Biology is now live

Understanding biological phenomena and processes, the diagnosis of diseases and elucidating key target molecule underlying a particular disease, require a strong foundation of protocols frequently used in molecular biology experiments. The learning from these protocols eventually allow researchers to develop therapeutic strategies for different ailments.

This new book represents a collection of protocols used in molecular biology emphasizing mainly on proteomics, genomics, cell culture, epigenetic modification and structural biology. It includes summarized examples and valuable information which can aid readers in unraveling the problems encountered in studying cancer biology, genetics, neuroscience and more. The book will serve as a reference for clinical researchers in areas like Oncology and Neuroscience. Specifically, a neuroscientist can utilize this information to isolate RNA and DNA from brain tissues.

Protocols included in this book include real time polymerase chain reaction (for the detection of mRNA levels), western blotting (for studying protein expression in tissues). The rapid Golgi method (for studying epigenetic changes to DNA), cell culture protocols (for understanding cellular staes in pathological conditions), 2D DIGE, Mis-match Amplification Mutation Assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (which are useful for proteomics experiments).

Protocols used in Molecular Biology is therefore, a complete package of information for academicians, molecular biologists, graduates and undergraduate students.
