Cover of PCR technology

PCR technology

Since Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was first described in 1985, the range of applications of the technique have expanded enormously. This comprehensive, up-to-date volume covers a diverse range of PCR applications, including detection of genetic mutations, detection of foodborne pathogens, forensic applications, determination of relationships among different plant species, and many more.
