Diagnostic Molecular Biology (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Diagnostic Molecular Biology, Second Edition describes the fundamentals of molecular biology in a clear, concise manner with each technique explained within its conceptual framework and current applications of clinical laboratory techniques comprehensively covered. This targeted approach covers the principles of molecular biology, including basic knowledge of nucleic acids, proteins and chromosomes; the basic techniques and instrumentations commonly used in the field of molecular biology, including detailed procedures and explanations; and the applications of the principles and techniques currently employed in the clinical laboratory. Topics such as whole exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq, and ChIP-seq round out the discussion.

Fully updated, this new edition adds recent advances in the detection of respiratory virus infections in humans, like influenza, RSV, hAdV, hRV but also corona. This book expands the discussion on NGS application and its role in future precision medicine.

• Provides explanations on how techniques are used to diagnosis at the molecular level
• Explains how to use information technology to communicate and assess results in the lab
• Enhances our understanding of fundamental molecular biology and places techniques in context
• Places protocols into context with practical applications
• Includes extra chapters on respiratory viruses (Corona)
