Product Description
This updated and expanded tutorial guide to molecular diagnostic techniques takes advantage of many new molecular technologies to include both improved traditional methods and totally new methods, some not yet in routine use. The authors offer cutting-edge molecular diagnostics for genetic disease, human cancers, infectious diseases, and identity testing, as well as new insights into the question of quality assurance in the molecular diagnostics laboratory. Additional chapters address other technologies found in the clinical laboratory that complementary to molecular diagnostic technologies and discuss genetic counseling and the ethical and social issues involved with nucleic acid testing. A value-added compact disk containing a companion e-book version of the book, is included for downloading and use in the reader's PC or PDA.

The textbook is great, has a tremendous amount of information, but I was disappointed that there were no color photos or graphs. It' a little difficult to distinguish sequence or scan peaks, when the description below says "and the blue line is..", etc. Just a little disappointing in that respect, especially for the price of the book. It looks almost like a cheaper version of a real text.
