AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS Nucleic Acids Isolation Methods by Bowien B
Although it's stated only on the back cover, this book seems to initiate a new series (from this new publisher) titled "Genome Science and Nucleic Acids." Ten review chapters address the stabilization of nucleic acids prior to isolation; isolation of genomic DNA, and of plasmid DNA; purification of plasmid DNA, and of viral nucleic acids; isolation of RNA; DNA cleanup from gels, PCR, sequencing, and others; nucleic acids of pathogens from biological samples for real-time PCR analysis; extraction of DNA from paraffin embedded bone marrow trephine biopsies; and DNA and forensic applications. Nineteen of the 20 contributors to the present work are based in Germany (one is in the UK); their work was brought together by editors Bowien (microbiology and genetics, U. of GÖttingen) and DÜrre (microbiology and biotechnology, U. of Ulm).
