An Indispensable Roadmap for Nucleic Acid Preparation Although
Friedrich Miescher described the first isolation of nucleic acid in
1869, it was not until 1953 that James Watson and Francis Crick
successfully deciphered the structural basis of DNA duplex.
Needless to say, in the years since, enormous advances have been
made in the study of nucleic acids, and these have become a
cornerstone for all branches of modern biological sciences. The
Handbook of Nucleic Acid Purification provides researchers and
students with an all-encompassing volume on nucleic acid extraction
strategies. Due to the complexities within prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells, purification of the nucleic acids often forms a
vital first step in the study of molecular biology of living
organisms as well as in the evolutionary/phylogenetic analysis of
ancient specimens. Bringing together contributions from leading
researchers, the handbook presents a comprehensive catalog of
nucleic acid isolation methods. It includes dedicated sections on
strategies for viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, insects,
mammals, and plants, as well as for ancient samples, with an
additional emphasis on sample preparation methods for direct
molecular applications. Each chapter in this handbook: Explores the
biological background important to understanding specific organisms
and specimens Reviews principles and current techniques for
efficient isolation Discusses challenges and future trends relating
to improved recovery of nucleic acids Besides providing an updated,
reliable reference for anyone with an interest in molecular
biology, this book offers a practical guide for clinical, forensic,
and research scientists involved in molecular analysis of
biological specimens. It also constitutes a convenient resource for
students in other areas of biological sciences, and an
indispensable roadmap for both new and experienced researchers
wishing to acquire or sharpen their skills in nucleic acid
preparation.
