Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: basic experimental protocolsis a compilation of methods and techniques commonly used in biomedical and biotechnological studies. The book aims to provide ample support to both students and faculty while conducting practical lessons. Four sections are covered in this book Genomics, Proteomics, Quantitative Biochemistry, and Bioinformatics. A concise introductory note accompanies each protocol/method described for better comprehension. Every topic discussed is supported by actual methods and their expected results, and is accompanied by relevant questions.
Key features:
Ready design of basic experiments in biomedical and biotechnology sciences. Extensive coverage of basic equipment used in biomedical and biotechnological studies. Concise information on each subject, with focus on practical lessons.
