<P>The ABCs of Gene Cloning serves as a clear and easy-to-use text that offers the reader an introductory course on the language of gene cloning. It assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, while emphasizing the 'nuts and bolts' of gene cloning. <EM><STRONG>The ABCs of Gene Cloning</STRONG></EM> enables the reader to distinguish between a gene and a DNA, to read and write a gene sequence, to talk intelligently about gene cloning, to attend seminars without getting completely lost, and to comprehend materials in scientific publications.</P>
<P></P>
<P><STRONG><EM>The ABCs of Gene Cloning</EM></STRONG> contains updated information throughout, a tutorial on how to read a gene sequence, new topics on animal cloning and human genome sequencing, and rewritten chapters on human gene therapy, gene targeting, and DNA typing. Part I of this book outlines the very basic principles of biology and genetics, with emphasis only on the aspects relevant to gene cloning. The intent is to provide sufficient background materials without burdening the reader with unwarranted details. Part II describes the common techniques and approaches of gene cloning used in microbial, plant and mammalian systems. It includes topics ranging from the basic mechanics of DNA manipulation, vector construction, to genomic analysis, which is still a very new and rapidly evolving field. Part III presents selected applications of major impact on biomedicine, agriculture and related areas. Case examples are used to demonstrate how gene cloning is conducted and applied in biomedicine and agriculture.</P>
