Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods 28 / Edition 1

by Jane K. Setlow

Overview

Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods, published by Springer since 1979, presents state-of-the-art discussions in modern genetics and genetic engineering. This focus affirms a commitment to publish important reviews of the broadest interest to geneticists and their colleagues in affiliated disciplines.

Recent volumes have covered gene therapy research, genetic mapping, plant science and technology, transport protein biochemistry, and viral vectors in gene therapy, among other topics.

Editorial Reviews

This is the 17th edition of an annual volume of contributed papers in various areas of genetic engineering. It is intended to present up-to-date information in the field. This volume will be of interest to investigators interested in genetic manipulation and engineering and would also be of value to library collections. The individual contributions are well illustrated and include extensive pertinent references. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms are included. The 13 entries in this volume include coverage of DNA excision and repair, bacterial virulence genes, metal binding proteins, RNA tertiary structure, expression systems, toxins, and genetic exchanges between plant cells and bacteria. Several of the entries deal heavily with technical developments. This annual series of reviews is strong on technique.

The 1995 edition of the annual collection contains 13 papers on such topics as the molecular biology of nucleotide exicision repair and double-strand break repair in eukaryotes, the role of molecular chaperones in the initiation of plasmid DNA replication, the genetics of nuclear migration in fungi, and the potential for biotechnological applications of metal precipitation by marine bacteria. Includes tables of contents for all the previous editions, but no other front matter. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
