Transcriptional Regulation in Eukaryotes

Description

"In the genome era, the analysis of gene expression has become a critical requirement in many laboratories. But there has been no comprehensive source of strategic, conceptual, and technical information to guide this often complex task. Transcriptional Regulation in Eukaryotes answers that need. Written by two experienced investigators, Michael Carey and Stephen Smale at the UCLA School of Medicine, and based in part on the Gene Expression course taught at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, this book directly addresses all the concerns of a laboratory studying the regulation of a newly isolated gene or the biochemistry of a new transcription factor." "This book is essential reading for anyone pursuing the analysis of gene expression in model systems or disease states."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

One of the central goals of the gene expression field is understanding how a mammalian organism regulates transcription of approximately 100,000 genes in the proper spatial and temporal patterns.
