Diagnostic Techniques in Genetics provides a broad overview of the fundamental theory and applications usied in the diagnosis of numerous genetic diseases.

Each chapter is intended to show how molecular biology (DNA or RNA technology) may be applied to a large set of genetic diagnoses.

Features:

• Focuses on DNA/RNA applications and includes many of the latest developments in the field combined with routine procedures of genetic diagnoses, for example cloning and sequencing DNA
• Details an overview of genetic diagnoses
• Includes a chapter on population genetics
