Description for Genetic Recombination
Hardback. Presents protocols required to carry out recombinant investigations in a lab. This book provides approaches and model systems to study several aspects of recombination in various eukaryotic organisms and in mammalian parasites. It also describes approaches for using recombination as a reporter of genomic instability in lower and higher eukaryotes. Editor(s): Waldman, Alan S. Series: Methods in Molecular Biology. Num Pages: 260 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAK1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 19. Weight in Grams: 601.
Genetic recombination, in the broadest sense, can be defined as any process in which DNA sequences interact and undergo a transfer of information, producing new “recombinant” sequences that contain information from each of the original molecules. All organisms have the ability to carry out recombination, and this striking universality speaks to the essential role recombination plays in a variety of biological processes fundamentally important to the maintenance of life. Such processes include DNA repair, regulation of gene expression, disease etiology, meiotic chromosome segregation, and evolution. One important aspect of recombination is that it typically occurs only between sequences that display ... Read more
