"Analytical Techniques in DNA Sequencing takes a look at the various DNA sequencing techniques that were developed and put to use during and after the Human Genome Project. The book pays special attention to the breakthrough Sanger Method, as well as several other techniques that improved the accuracy, improved the detection limits, and, in a variety of ways, dramatically reduced the time needed to generate a DNA sequence. This volume also delves into the far-reaching applications of DNA sequencing. " "The book's ten chapters include contributions by a variety of leading experts in the field. They present all of the major improvements made since the early days of radioisotope sequencing. "--Jacket.
