A propos du livre

Revue de presse

An interesting historical document that will also be of some use to those with different perspectives. . . . a good introduction to the basic technology of DNA fingerprinting. For anyone coming to this technique without a strong lab background, the refresher chapter on basic genetic principles is helpful, and the step-by-step approach to major technical procedures is well planned. . . . having this book is hand will save a novice weeks that would otherwise be spent thrashing through primary literature and textbooks to accumulate both the latest techniques and fundamental principles. (Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

The strength of this book rests with its extensive collection of laboratory methodologies pertinent to DNA identification processes. The coverage is comprehensive. . . . extremely readable. (Choice)
