This text presents an introduction to the concepts and techniques of recombinant DNA research and their dramatic results. It explores core concepts in molecular biology in a contemporary inquiry-based context, building its coverage around the landmark experiments that redefined our understanding of DNA.
Recombinant DNA Technology is focussed on the current state of knowledge on the recombinant DNA technology and its applications. The book will provide comprehensive knowledge on the principles and concepts of recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering, protein expression of cloned genes, PCR amplification of DNA, RFLP, AFLP and DNA fingerprinting and finally the most recent siRNA technology. It can be used by post-graduate students studying and teachers teaching in the area of Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Genetics, Microbiology, Life Science, Pharmacy, Agriculture and Basic Medical Sciences.
Completely revised and updated, this third editionof the best selling Molecular Biotechnology: Principles of Recombinant DNA covers both the underlying scientific principles and the wide–ranging industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications of recombinant DNA technology. This new edition offers greatly expanded coverage of directed mutagenesis and protein engineering, therapeutic agents and genetic engineering of plants. Updated chapters reflect recent developments in biotechnology and the societal issues related to it, such as cloning, gene therapy, patenting and releasing genetically engineered organisms. Significantly updated to reflect the advances over the past five years Over 200 new figures illustrate the added concepts and principles "Milestones" summarize important research papers in the history of biotechnology and their effects on the field Ideal text for third and fourth year undergraduates as well as graduate students. It is also an excellent reference for health professionals, scientists, engineers and attorneys interested in biotechnology

Introduces the basic principles and techniques of recombinant DNA. The book begins with an introduction to the different tools used for gene cloning. The final chapters cover the application of Recombinant Technology to current research and provide an inside look at the human genome project, ribozyme technology, antisense technology, DNA sequencing, and protein engineering.
Genetic engineering is a rapidly growing field in the area of biological sciences. The driving forces behind this are the challenges encountered by health sectors, agriculture, the environment, and industry. As such, accurate and comprehensive knowledge about the philosophy, principles and application of genetic engineering is indispensable for students and researchers to harness maximum opportunities from this field of science. This volume gathers together comprehensive information regarding genetic engineering from recent studies, and presents it in a coherent manner. As such, it will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers working in the biological sciences.
This text addresses many of the practical concerns and techniques for employing genetic manipulation in micro-organisms, plants and animals, linking the disciplines of molecular biology and process engineering. The contributors represent a broad sample of the researchers in the field, aiming to provide a useful single volume that spans the entire scope of the technologies that can alter the genomes of many living species.
Enzymes are indispensable tools in recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. This book not only provides information for enzymologists, but does so in a manner that will also aid nonenymologists in making proper use of these biocatalysts in their research. The Enzymology Primer for Recombinant DNA Technology includes information not usually found in the brief descriptions given in most books on recombinant DNA methodology and gene cloning. - Provides essential basics as well as up-to-date information on enzymes most commonly used in recombinant DNA technology - Presents information in an easily accessible format to serve as a quick reference source - Leads to a better understanding of the role of biocatalysts in recombinant DNA techniques
