Techniques in Localization of Gene Expression

"Techniques in Quantification and Localization of Gene Expression describes in detail the methods used to quantify and localize gene expression. As an organism's DNA can be considered to be its genetic potential, its RNA and protein expression are the functional result of its genetic program. Localizing gene expression is therefore an important tool in basic cell and molecular biology research and is particularly important in helping to understand the molecular basis of disease.". "Sensitive detection of gene expression is hindered by poor recovery or preservation of target sequences. This book emphasizes methods that are optimized to ensure full recovery and preservation of gene expression targets from specimen acquisition through to detection and final analysis." "Researchers and students in cellular biology will find this book a very useful guide to gene localizing techniques."--BOOK JACKET.
