Nonisotopic DNA Probe Techniques

Many nonisotopic methods of probing specific DNA sequences have been developed as replacements for radioactive labels, such as phosphorous and iodine. This book aims to bring these new methods together in one convenient, easily accessible source. It enables researchers to select the nonisotopic method best suited for their application and to maximize its advantage by following the instructions provided. The book contains chapters on colorimetric, bioluminescent, chemiluminescent, fluroescent and time-resolved fluorescent detection methods. Each chapter has been written by the inventor or developer of a particular nonisotopic method and thus provides an expert account of the method. Each chapter presents background information and detailed, easy-to-follow experimental procedures for labelling and detection.
