An excellent tool in preparaton for Molecular Pathology Registry Exam. Globally covers all areas of Molecular Pathology taught in formal university classrooms courses. Information is simply explained, concepts are easy to grasp and has illustrations, tables, charts, and diagrams that reaches and facilitates a better level of understanding. Don't sit for registry exam without reviewing this text. "Great Stuff". Respectively, Frank Escontrias

I bought this book for a Molecular Diagnostics course for an MT/CLS progam. Although I've had some previous education in DNA, etc. . . I was new to most of the concepts in the book. I found it easy to read and very understandable. My only real complaint is that THERE'S NO GLOSSARY in this book. To me, that's a major oversight.

This is not for those of us who are new to the topic. Too much information, not enough explanation. If you are required to purchase it for a course get something else to supplement the first three chapters on DNA and RNA.

Interesting book by C. Bailey (Northern NY state, (almost to Canada!)USA)

Pretty decent book, goes over most concepts of molecular diagnostics, PCR, FISH, RT-PCR, molecular beacons, FRET, etc. Fairly easy to understand. Could do a better job in some places. Used in a Molecular Diagnostics - Human Genetics course in CLS/MT Program.
