RNA Methodologies: A Laboratory Guide for Isolation and Characterization

By Robert E. Farrell Jr.

Book Overview

The isolation of biologically competent and chemically stable RNA is central to molecular biology. As there is currently a need to unify components of RNA characterization, this text presents RNA isolation strategies and a collection of protocols in a coherent start-to-finish format. It is written for anyone capable of conducting basic research, and addresses basic skills involved in nucleic acid research as well as some of the more sophisticated protocols. A collection of tried and tested laboratory protocols for the isolation and characterization of mammalian RNA, this book focuses on the study of RNA as a parameter of gene expression. RNA Methodologies: A Laboratory Guide for Isolation and Characterization emphasizes how these methodologies can be utilized in the study of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of eukaryotic genes. The chapters work together to tell the RNA story, each including clear take-home lessons. The liberal incorporation of flow charts, tables and graphs facilitate learning and assist in the planning phases of a project.
