Practical Notes

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides detailed information on various laboratory techniques and methodologies used for studying viruses at the molecular level. It covers essential topics such as nucleic acid isolation, protein isolation, PCR-based techniques, western blotting, serological assays, immunoprecipitation, small interfering RNA (siRNA), histological methods, bioinformatics and in silico simulations. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the techniques, their applications, and their significance in virus research. The book is a useful resource as a practical introductory note that could be used for hands-on training of students, both undergraduates and junior postgraduates.
