This book is the result of sustained hard work by authors to striking results. Readers will definitely get benefit from this book and they can even reproduce the work if they wish to. This book shows association of two carcinogen detoxifying genes (GSTM1 and GSTT1) with prostate cancer risk in Pakistani men. Multiplex PCR was used and striking results have been obtained by revealing the gel on UV light in gel documentation system. It is worth reading this book.

Colorectal cancer has been increasing enormously over the past few decades in many countries. The book shows remarkable discoveries related to colorectal cancer and may be used for the gene therapy with further investigations. Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction has been used and clear deletions have been shown via gel electrophoresis. The readers may even reproduce the research work if they wish so.

This book is an attempt to address heavy metal contamination via discharge of effluents from tanning industries posing serious environmental threats in Pakistan. Various physicochemical parameters of the effluent have been analyzed along with isolation and characterization of indigenous bacterial isolates. The genetic variability and tolerance to various metal salts revealed potential applications of isolates for biotransformation of metal pollutants. This book will provide readers with useful information about the situation of pollution in developing countries. It is worth reading the book.

The aim of this book is to highlight the importance of bioinformatics in investigating the structural and mechanistic aspects of bioremediation. Genotoxic Azobenzene dye degradation is explained in detail. This work provides in vitro and in silico eco-analytical information, necessary for the reliable evaluation of mechanism and conformational changes in the macro-molecules responsible for degrading pollutants.
