This approach is commonplace at present, so a volume of practical utility has merit. … The target audience would be research laboratory personnel working in this general area. The editors have recruited a group of contributors with worldwide representation." (Eugene A Davidson, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2007) "The editors of this volume have gathered together a variety of protocols for anyone who wishes to use nonradioactive methods for the analysis of their chosen nucleic acid molecules. ... Combined with the excellent overviews on microarrays as well as hybridization and detection techniques, and several useful assays for the application of these techniques for nucleic acid analysis, scientists will find this book handy for their research and educators will adopt it as a useful teaching tool for advanced students."
