Review Pichia Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) (Methods in Molecular Biology) / Humana Press:David Higgins and James Cregg compile for the first time an all-inclusive collection of key experimental procedures to manipulate Pichia pastoris for gene expression purposes. The methods-developed by world-class researchers in their own laboratories-contain detailed descriptions of available expression strains, as well as vectors and step-by-step instructions for the construction of expression strains and for their use in the production of foreign proteins from shake-flask or fermentor cultures. General procedures for the purification of foreign proteins are also provided, along with protocols for analyzing foreign protein products for glycosylation and subcellular location. Its detailed instructions will permit any researcher in molecular biology to quickly construct an expression strain that will produce a desired foreign protein, and to use this state-of-the-art molecular and cellular biological system successfully in every area of biological research today.

Review Methods in Genomic Neuroscience (Methods and New Frontiers in Neuroscience) / CRC:The past few years have witnessed extraordinary advances in molecular genetic techniques and the accumulation of structural genomics information and resources in both human and model organisms. With the development of new technologies and the availability of resources like the sequence of eukaryotic genomes, problems of a previously unthinkable scope are now being routinely solved in neuroscience and many other areas of biomedical research. The results of these studies, in turn, are having, and will continue to have, profound impact on experimental approaches and designs for manipulating genes, the genome, and model organisms as a means of gaining insights into nervous system functioning and complex behavior. Methods in Genomic Neuroscience provides newcomers and experienced researchers with a reference guide for applying powerful, state-of-the-art molecular genetic techniques to the study of neural and behavioral systems. It thereby provides a foundation by which data on gene expression and function may be used to develop new therapeutic strategies for brain diseases. Authored by researchers in the forefront of genomic neuroscience, the book addresses state-of-the-art tools and technologies for global analysis of genes influencing the nervous system and its disorders. An emphasis is placed on massively parallel approaches for analyzing the avalanche of data that is being generated from the full genomic sequence of humans and model systems. Specific topics include human sequence variation, methods for discovering disease vulnerability genes, gene-environmental interaction, gene expression analysis using DNA microarrays, random mutagenesis, gene trap approaches for studying brain development, neural stem cells, gene targeting, and gene delivery.

Review Nucleotide and Protein Expansions and Human Disease (Reprint of Cytogenetic and Genome Research 2003, No. 1-4, 100) / Not Avail:DNA repeat expansion is the mutational mechanism in a number of high-profile genetic diseases such as fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy and Huntington's disease. Since the discovery of this mechanism more than a decade ago many new findings have been reported, and the study of repeat expansion has virtually become a sub-specialty of human molecular genetics. This special issue of Cytogenetic and Genome Research reviews numerous aspects of nucleotide repeat expansion, mutations, and the proteins affected, including mechanisms of expansion, the molecular basis of repeat-associated disorders, animal models, and clinical insights. Several papers focus on rare and common fragile sites, discussing in detail what is currently known and evaluating their contribution to human disease. This highly authoritative series of articles written by leading investigators is recommended reading not only to students but also to scientists experienced in human genetics.

Review Gene Therapy and Cancer Research Progress / Nova Science Publishers:Genes, which are carried on chromosomes, are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. Genes are specific sequences of bases that encode instructions on how to make proteins. Although genes get a lot of attention, it's the proteins that perform most life functions and even make up the majority of cellular structures. When genes are altered so that the encoded proteins are unable to carry out their normal functions, genetic disorders can result. Gene therapy is an experimental treatment that involves introducing genetic material into a person's cells to fight disease. Gene therapy is being studied in clinical trials for many different types of cancer and for numerous other diseases. This book presents the latest research in the field from around the world.

Review YAC Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) / Humana Press:This completely revised and updated edition of YAC Protocols takes advantage of the many new advances in biology since the publication of the first edition, including the sequencing of the human genome, the genomes of a wide variety of other organisms, and the increased use of transgenic animals for understanding the molecular basis of human and animal disease. This volume also provides a much-needed update on the new techniques currently employed and to help redefine and illustrate the important roles still to be played by yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) technologies in the postgenomic age. YAC Protocols, Second Edition, demonstrates the enormous potential use of YAC technologies in understanding the role of genetics in maintaining health, promoting pathogenesis, and conferring susceptibility to disease. Offering solutions to the many problems that have plagued researchers, this new edition allows for the wider and more efficient use of YAC technologies for the analysis of genetic and pathogenic causes of human disease.

Review Genomes, Browsers and Databases: Data-Mining Tools for Integrated Genomic Databases / Cambridge University Press:The recent explosive growth of biological data has lead to a rapid increase in the number of molecular biology databases. Held in many different locations and often using varying interfaces and non-standard data formats, integrating and comparing data from these multiple databases can be difficult and time-consuming. This book provides an overview of the key tools currently available for large-scale comparisons of gene sequences and annotations, focusing on the databases and tools from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), Ensembl, and the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Written specifically for biology and bioinformatics students and researchers, it aims to give an appreciation for the methods by which the browsers and their databases are constructed, enabling readers to determine which tool is the most appropriate for their requirements. Each chapter contains a summary and exercises to aid understanding and promote effective use of these important tools.

Review Ecology of Marine Protozoa / Oxford University Press, USA:Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the role of protozoa in the ecology of the world's oceans. In addition to their vital role in global nutrient cycles, marine protozoa also exhibit some of the most interesting symbiotic associations presently known, ranging from parasitism to mutualism, contributing greatly to our knowledge of eukaryote evolution. Additionally, stratigraphic examination of extinct forms provides important keys to past world climate and ocean conditions, while the study of extant forms yields major insights into present-day ocean conditions and circulation patterns. This volume provides a general overview of the ecology of marine protozoa. It features contributions from eleven internationally known oceanographers and marine biologists on such important topics as protozoan growth and nutrition, physiology, feeding activities, symbiosis, taxonomy, and paleobiology. The editor has helpfully organized the text on the basis of ecological function. It is intended for use by research scientists and graduate students in the fields of marine ecology, biological oceanography, and marine biology, as well as by microbiologists, cell biologists, mathematical ecologists, paleontologists, marine geologists, and marine chemists seeking an update on the field or who are considering work in this area.
