MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
RNA interference (RNAi) is the most recent discovery to revolutionize the study of biology. In this book, leaders in the field contribute state-of-the-art, easy to follow methods and bench protocols designed for practical, everyday use of RNAi in biological research. Cutting edge and clearly written, this book enables a researcher with standard molecular biological training to perform major RNAi-related experiments and contribute to this revolutionary, growing field.
