Bøger i Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods serien

Chapters discuss obtaining good expression of genetically engineered pest-resistant genes introduced in crop plants, cloning DNAs containing palindromes, and identifying genes by 3' terminal exon trapping and much more.

Volume 17 of this highly acclaimed series features discussions on a new method of mapping and manipulating DNA with the use of RecA protein in combination with restriction enzymes, RNA pseudoknots, and platelet-derived growth factors and their receptors in cell differentiation and cell cycle control.

This volume, as with the previous books in the series, presents state-of-the-art discussions in genetics and genetic engineering by focusing on plant science and technology, agriculture, cell biology, and medical research.

Reports research findings of the past year on 15 topics relating to genetic engineering, among them lens oncogenesis, plant ureases, genetic recombination analysis using sperm typing, and the gene expression of plant extracellular proteins. The latest in the annual series begun in 1979. Annotation c

Genetic Engineering, Volume 25 contains discussions of contemporary and relevant topics in genetics, including: - Genotyping by Mass Spectrometry;- Development of Targeted Viral Vectors for Cardiovascular Gene Therapy;

The current volume covers human gene therapy, improving the nutritional value of maize, restriction-modification enzymes, and eight other subjects.

Contains discussions of contemporary and relevant topics in genetics, including: gene silencing - principles and applications; integrins and the myocardium; plant virus gene vectors - biotechnology and applications in agriculture and medicine; novel approaches to controlling transcription; use of DNA polymorphisms in genetic mapping; and more.

All of this work then led us to attempt to design a rational but comprehensive classification system that would be applicable to the complete complement of transport systems found in all living organisms (3).

Aspects of genetic engineering research emphasized in this volume are applications to plants (crop plants and grass, both important for human needs) and new methodologies, such as Tar cloning, which make it much easier to isolate specific regions from complex genomes. Another subject discussed is linear DNA replication of prokaryotes.
