Guide to Mutation Detection

As genomic science and potential gene therapies continue to develop, the detection of mutations plays an increasingly central role in diverse areas of biology. With innumerable detection techniques available spanning multiple disciplines, the choice of the best method for a particular study can prove exceedingly difficult. Complexity, equipment requirements, cost, and throughput are all factors to consider, along with the huge amount of information already available through genome sequencing projects. An essential go–to for informed decision–making, the Guide to Mutation Detection is the only single source for the theory and practice of mutation analysis needed to design an experiment. User–friendly, concise, and expertly edited by recognized leaders in the field, the text provides a cutting–edge reference that is still accessible to those with no experience in mutation analysis.
