Cloning of Frogs, Mice, and Other Animals was first published as Cloning: A Biologist Reports in 1979 and was reissued under the present title in 1985. When cell biologist Robert McKinnell first wrote his layman’s guide to cloning in 1979, no creature higher than a frog had been successfully cloned. In the years since then, scientific advances have made mammalian clones a reality -- cloned mice have been reported from laboratories using two different techniques. In this revised edition of Cloning: A Biologist Reports, McKinnell explains the process of mammalian cloning and discusses i

This completely revised second edition provides proven protocols for PCR cloning and mutagenesis. It builds on its best-selling predecessor to allow researchers of all levels to increase their success rate in their experiments. The editor has divided the book into five parts, beginning with performing and optimizing PCR to Cloning PCR products, through to mutagenesis and recombination. The final two parts cover the cloning of unknown neighboring DNA and DNA library construction and screening. Each part includes an overview that summarizes the current methods available and their underl

Known world-wide as the standard introductory text to this important and exciting area, the sixth edition of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis addresses new and growing areas of research whilst retaining the philosophy of the previous editions. Assuming the reader has little prior knowledge of the subject, its importance, the principles of the techniques used and their applications are all carefully laid out, with over 250 clearly presented four-colour illustrations. In addition to a number of informative changes to the text throughout the book, the final four chapters have been significantly upd

A distinguished collection of papers by leading scientists and bioethicists on the science and social issues related to large-animal cloning. The book details the prospective medical benefits for development of pharmaceuticals in transgenic animals and of organs for xenotransplants, and the implications for the possibility of human cloning. It provides a thorough, authoritative assessment and explanation of what has been done, including recent animal cloning, and what the possibilities are for this new fascinating science.

Cloning has the potential to be an extremely valuable tool across many fields. In agriculture, the reproductive cloning of farm animals could prove to be advantageous. In clinical medicine, the employment of therapeutic cloning for cell, tissue, and organ replacement appears to be imminent. However, as with any advancement that is poised to touch human lives, the process of cloning must be looked at through the lens of the medical community’s obligation to do no harm. Epigenetic Risks of Cloning includes contributions from 32 leading researchers who are intimately involved with variou

Now fully updated to reflect recent advances, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of recombinant DNA techniques. Emphasis is placed on the concepts underlying particular types of cloning vectors to aid understanding and to enable readers to devise suitable strategies for novel experimental situations. A series of ’real-life’ biological problems are also presented to enable readers to assess their understanding of the material and to prepare for exams.Now fully updated to reflect recent advances, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of reco
