Hands-on researchers with proven track records describe in stepwise fashion their advanced mutagenesis techniques. The contributors focus on improvements to conventional site-directed mutagenesis, including a chapter on chemical site-directed mutagenesis, PCR-based mutagenesis and the modifications that allow high throughput mutagenesis experiments, and mutagenesis based on gene disruption (both in vitro- and in situ-based). Additional methods are provided for in vitro gene evolution; for gene disruption based on recombination, transposon, and casette mutagenesis; and for facilitating the introduction of multiple mutations. Time-tested and highly practical, the protocols in In Vitro Mutagenesis Protocols, 2nd Edition offer today's molecular biologists reliable and powerful techniques with which to illuminate the proteome.

This was, by and large, the result of continued pressure from within Hong Kong and...
