Description: "Measuring Gene Expression is an all-in-one introduction to the main methods of measuring gene expression, including PCR-based methods, differential display, reporter gene assays, microarrays, and proteomics, as well as a section on RNA isolation and analysis. It provides the information and protocols required to allow the reader to select the most appropriate method to measure gene expression in their experimental system and then interpret the results."--Jacket.
