Genetic Engineering Principles and Methods [Hardcover]

Volume 18 explores the latest advances in recombinant DNA molecule techniques and how they are revolutionizing basic research in biology. Chapters discuss obtaining good expression of genetically engineered pest-resistant genes introduced in crop plants, cloning DNAs containing palindromes, and identifying genes by 3' terminal exon trapping and much more.Cloning and Characterization of DNAs with Palindromic Sequences; D.R.F.
