Opis

Microsatellites are short stretches of repeated DNA that show exceptio nal variability in humans and most other species. This has made micros atellites the genetic marker of choice for most applications, includin g genetic mapping and studies of evolutionary connections between spec ies and populations. This book details the molecular processes which g ive rise to microsatellite DNA and then describes the wide range of ap plications.

Recenzje

'...It is the most comprehensive volume on microsatellities and has contributions from many excellent researchers' TREE
