Product Overview
This textbook covers both the scientific principles and industrial applications of recombinant DNA technology. Molecular biotechnology is a relatively new discipline that uses recombinant DNA technology for the development of commercial products. The book explains the principles of recombinant DNA technology as well as other important ancillary techniques such as DNA sequencing, the polymerase chain reaction and the production of monoclonal antibodies. It describes the experimental approaches for each area of molecular biotechnology and provides an understanding of what the studies entail, how they are being carried out, why they are important and, where important, the social aspects of molecular biotechnology.
