A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences

Laboratory and field studies are essential components of undergraduate training in the life sciences. Practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform because they lack basic laboratory skills. This book, now in its second edition, continues to provide students with easy-to-use guidance for laboratory and field studies, but in addition it now covers broader transferable skills. As a result the new edition provides guidance and support over the entire range of a typical undergraduate courses in biomolecular sciences.

New features for the second edition

• A new section at the front of the book on Study and Examination skills, including new chapters on time management, working with others, note taking, revising, assessment and exams, and preparing a cv.
• New chapters on bioinformatics and on the preparation and use of calibration curves.
• Updated material on the use of the Internet and World Wide Web.
• New material on evaluating information – a vital skill for today’s students.
• New material in the numeracy and statistics chapters to provide greater support and guidance.
• Every chapter has study exercises to reinforce learning with problems and practical exercises. Answers are given at the back of the book for all exercises.
• Every chapter is supported by a section giving printed and electronic sources for further study.

Retained features from previous edition

• Worked examples and "how to" boxes that set out the essential procedures in a step-by-step manner.
• Key points highlighting critical features of methodology.
• Use of margin tips, definitions and illustrations.
• Use of two-colour text throughout the book.

Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences is an indispensable book for undergraduate students in a range of subjects including biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology and biomedical sciences. It is also a valuable resource for teachers of these subjects in colleges and secondary schools.

Quatrième de couverture :

"An essential book for all Life Science students – a highly recommended purchase for their degree."

Dr Mark Wilkinson, University of Liverpool

If you are studying within the biomolecular sciences, then this book is an indispensable companion throughout your entire degree programme. It  demonstrates lucidly the laboratory and data analysis skills that you will draw on time and again for the practical aspects of your studies, and also gives you a solid grounding in those wider transferable skills that are increasingly necessary to achieve a higher level of academic success.

This third edition builds on the excellent foundation of its predecessors. It contains a fully updated examination of existing topics and covers even more core skills, including:

• ELISA assays
• DNA micro-arrays
• Digital imaging
• Eukaroyte cell culture
• Real-time PCR
• Bioethics
• Personal development planning
• Learning styles
• Avoiding plagiarism
• E-learning

§         Thinking processes

§         Use of software to enhance graph/table drawing, statistical analysis and presentations

Key features

• New 'safety note' feature, highlighting specific hazards and appropriate practical steps to minimise risk
• Worked examples and ‘how to’ boxes that set out the essential procedures in a step-by-step manner
• Key points highlighting critical features of methodology
• Study exercises in each chapter to reinforce learning
• Use of margin tips, definitions and illustrations throughout
