Real-Time PCR: Current Technology and Future Perspectives
The entire field of PCR is moving from traditional PCR (based on electrophoretic detection) to quantitative real-time PCR in which instrumentation is used to measure PCR products as they are being synthesized. This is the first book devoted to real-time PCR and describes in detail how these systems work, including both instruments and probes, how to set up and optimise real-time PCR experiments, how to analyse real-time PCR data, how to do SNP analyses and the issues involved with multiplexing.

From Genes to Genomes: Concepts and Applications of DNA Technology
“… an excellent book… achieves all of its goals with style, clarity and completeness… You can see the power and possibilities of molecular genetics as you read…” –Human Genetics
“This volume hits an outstanding balance among readability, coverage, and detail.” –Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education
Rapid advances in a collection of techniques referred to as gene technology, genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology and gene cloning have pushed molecular biology to the forefront of the biological sciences. This new edition of a concise, well-written textbook introduces key techniques and concepts involved in cloning genes and in studying their expression and variation.
The book opens with a brief review of the basic concepts of molecular biology, before moving on to describe the key molecular methods and how they fit together. This ranges from the cloning and study of individual genes to the sequencing of whole genomes, and the analysis of genome-wide information. Finally, the book moves on to consider some of the applications of these techniques, in biotechnology, medicine and agriculture, as well as in research that is causing the current explosion of knowledge across the biological sciences.
From Genes to Genomes: Concepts and Applications of DNA Technology, Second Edition includes full two-colour design throughout and an accompanying website. Specific changes for the new edition include:
- Strengthening of gene to genome theme
- Updating and reinforcing of material on proteomics, gene therapy and stem cells
- More eukaryotic/mammalian examples and less focus on bacteria
This textbook is must-have for all undergraduates studying intermediate molecular genetics within the biological and biomedical sciences. It is also of interest for researchers and all those needing to update their knowledge of this rapidly moving field.

DNA technology: An entry from Thomson Gale’s Gale Encyclopedia of Science, 3rd ed.
The “Gale Encyclopedia of Science” is written at a level somewhere between the introductory sources and the highly technical texts currently available. This six-volume set covers all major areas of science and engineering, as well as mathematics and the medical and health sciences, while providing a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge and technology. Alphabetically arranged entries provide a user-friendly format that makes the broad scope of information easy to access and decipher. Entries typically describe scientific concepts, provide overviews of scientific areas and, in some cases, define terms.

Question by doug f: manipulating the molecule basis of inheritaqnce by recombinant DNA technology is called:?
a. mendelian genetics
b. biotechnology
c. DNA fingerprinting
d. restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP)
e. polymerase chain reaction(PCR)
Best answer:
Answer by Pescapesca
B. only biotechnology can manipulate the DNA with the recombinant DNA technology.
Mendelian genetics study the inheritance of characters.
DNA fingerprinting is technique used to identified which person has left a spot of blood (for example)
RFLP are the fragments product by action of a restriction enzyme. They are different in the popolation, because of the presence of “alleles” of different lenght.
PCR is a technique used to amplify DNA.
What do you think? Answer below!
