Insect Transgenesis (eBook, ePUB)

Methods and Applications
Redaktion: Handler, Alfred M.; James, Anthony A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Insect Transgenesis: Methods and Applications describes, in a comprehensive manner, the various methodologies available, possible applications, and the risk assessment and regulatory issues involved in this fascinating area of research. Divided into several areas of interest, the book starts with an overview of the history and methodology of insect gene transfer, then examines gene targeting by homologous recombination and recombination systems, and systems for transgenic selection.
Other sections consider the use of various vector systems to integrate DNA into a host genome or to express foreign genes in a host organism.
