DNA Fingerprinting

"An interesting historical document that will also be of some use to those with different perspectives. . . . a good introduction to the basic technology of DNA fingerprinting. For anyone coming to this technique without a strong lab background, the refresher chapter on basic genetic principles is helpful, and the step-by-step approach to major technical procedures is well planned. . . . having this book is hand will save a novice weeks that would otherwise be spent thrashing through primary literature and textbooks to accumulate both the latest techniques and fundamental principles." --Trends in Ecology and Evolution "The strength of this book rests with its extensive collection of laboratory methodologies pertinent to DNA identification processes. The coverage is comprehensive. . . . extremely readable." --Choice "An excellent introductory text on DNA fingerprinting covering probes, PCR, hybridization, sample taking, costs, law, ethics, analysis-statistics, guidelines and other techniques relevant to forensics. 4 stars out of 5." --American Association of Forensic Dentists "Very useful for students and laboratory personnel." --BIOSIS "An interesting historical document that will also be of some use to those with different perspectives. . . . a good introduction to the basic technology of DNA fingerprinting.
