This volume details protocols for genetic, molecular, cytological, and bioinformatic methods for determining haplotypes. Haplotyping: Methods and Protocols guides readers through methods that directly type haploid cells, difficult-to-resolve gene families, high-resolution, short range haplotyping for targeted loci, and long-range haplotyping for whole chromosomes or genomes. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical Haplotyping: Methods and Protocols, aims to provide researchers with an overview of experimental methods for haplotyping.
