Notch Signaling Research: Methods and Protocols

by Dongyu Jia (Editor)

Overview

This detailed volume explores the large research area of Notch signaling studies in a variety of model organisms. The collected research methods and prools include the dissection of Notch functional sites, Notch regulators, Notch activity reporters and analysis, roles of Notch in development and diseases, wet and dry lab tools and studies, and bioinformatics analysis. This book particularly emphasizes on the exploration of Notch roles in development and diseases, while acknowledging the importance of combining classic and novel molecular tools and methods, bioinformatics workflows and applications, and different model organisms to fully understand the subject area. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Notch Signaling Research: Methods and Prools is an ideal guide for researchers in the field, with techniques that could potentially be applied to study the wider world of other signaling pathways as well.
