Small Non-Coding RNAs: Methods and Protocols

by Mathieu Rederstorff (Editor)

Overview

This volume contains state-of-the-art methods tackling all aspects of small non-coding RNAs biology. Small Non-Coding RNAs: Methods and Prools guides readers through customized dedicated prools and technologies that will be of valuable help to all those willing to contribute deciphering the numerous functions of small non-coding RNAs. Written in the highly successful Methods of Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools and key tips on troubles troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Instructive and practical, Small Non-Coding RNAs: Methods and Prools reaches out to biochemists, cellular and molecular biologists already working in the field of RNA biology and to those just starting to study small non-coding RNAs.
