Summary |
"This manual aims to provide the reader with a guide to the standard PCR technique and its many available modifications, with particular emphasis on the role of PCR techniques in the diagnostic laboratory (the central theme of this manual). Further, many important technical issues have been addressed, including types of PCR template material, PCR optimization, the analysis of PCR products, quality control, quantitative PCR and in situ PCR. The reader of this manual will be thoroughly informed about the fundamental principles of PCR and the true potential of PCR within clinical laboratory practice."--Jacket |
