Genetic Engineering, Volume 24 contains discussions of contemporary and relevant topics in genetics, including:

-Gene silencing: principles and applications,
-Integrins and the myocardium,
-Plant virus gene vectors: biotechnology and applications in agriculture and medicine,
-Novel approaches to controlling transcription,
-Use of DNA polymorphisms in genetic mapping,
-Application of FLP/FRT site-specific DNA recombination system in plants.

This principles and methods approach to genetics and genetic engineering is essential reading for all academics, bench scientists, and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of the latest and greatest in this continuously emerging field.

Jane K. Setlow, PhD. has championed the field of genetics for over 30 years, agreeing to edit Genetic Engineering: Principles & Methods since its inception in 1979. An internationally recognized scientist with numerous publications, Dr. Setlow is the former Chairperson of the NIH Recombinant DNA Molecule Advisory Committee (RAC). Her lab can found at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York.
