Genetic Engineering Principles and Methods

Genetic Engineering, Volume 24 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,
-Application of FLP/FRT site-specific DNA recombination system in plants.

This principles and methods approach to genetics and genetic engineering is essential reading for all academics, bench scientists, and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of the latest and greatest in this continuously emerging field.
