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... Read more

Biography

Dongyou Liu

"I was very impressed with the amount of technical detail in the book, having comprehensive descriptions of in-house and commercial methods, together with consideration of the theoretical basis of methods. There is so much more to this book than merely being a laboratory manual. The chapters are very well written, reference lists are comprehensive, and figures and diagrams are good."
