Molecular Genetic Analysis of Populations - A Practical Approach (Hardcover, 2Rev ed)

Methods enabling the direct study of genetic variation in natural populations have improved considerably. This new edition explores these updated techniques in DNA analysis. It provides a revised and refined guide to investigating variation in DNA molecules.;Contents: Starch gel electrophoresis of allozymes; Total DNA isolation; mtDNA isolation, Separation and detection of fragments; Genomic libraries and the development of species-specific probes; RFLP analysis using heterologous probes; PCR protocols and population analysis by direct DNA sequencing and PCR-based DNA fingerprinting; Microsatellites; Detection of genetic variation by DNA conformational and denaturing gradient methods; Multi- and single-locus DNA fingerprinting; Automated DNA detection with fluorescence-based technologies; Appendix: List of Suppliers; Index.;This book is intended for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, academics, and clinical staff.
