Publisher's Synopsis
Every field needs the proper research tools with which one can practice its discipline. This is especially true in molecular biology where the research needs are becoming more and more demanding. This book describes DNA Chromatography a powerful and effective tool for the molecular biologist researcher. The technology is useful for a wide variety of applications including the analysis of mutations (SNPs, insertions, and deletions), the size determination of PCR products, the purification of single- and double-stranded nucleic acids, analysis of enzymatic reaction products and many others. DNA Chromatography is automated and can replace many of the gel electrophoresis technologies currently being used resulting in faster and more accurate analysis. This book is intended to be an introduction for the molecular biologist reader but will also serve as a practical guide for the experienced user. Readers will discover how DNA Chromatography can be used in their own work. The clear and concise writing style is also attractive to the chemist who desires to learn more about molecular biology.
