Edited by the inventor of PCR and the 1993 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Kary Mullis, and two prominent experts in the field. It provides the most up-to-date methodological protocols from the world's leading laboratories, as well as exciting new techniques and enhanced applications not yet available in book form. Nearly forty chapters will inform the novice and experienced PCR user how to optimize their results. The applications chapters are quite unique, with the foremost researchers providing not only protocols, but descriptions of how PCR has revolutionized their particular field. Future enhancements of PCR as well as new potential uses are discussed. Readers will learn how PCR has changed the face of diagnostic testing, cancer research, genetics, forensics, plant biology, DNA sequencing, gene therapy, and much more! Special sections include the latest on QPCR, non-isotopic detection, genetic analysis, and PCR and the World of Business, which includes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the legal battles between biotech giants Cetus and DuPont, as well as insights into the origins of PCR and the history of nucleic acid research.
