Mathematics, as a vital component of the successful design and interpretation of basic research, is used daily in laboratory work. This guide, written for students, technicians, and scientists, provides example calculations for the most frequently confronted problems encountered in gene discovery and analysis. The text and sample calculations are written in an easy-to-follow format. It is the perfect laboratory companion for anyone working in DNA manipulation and analysis. *A comprehensive guide to calculations for a wide variety of problems encountered in the basic research laboratory. * Example calculations are worked through from start to finish in easy-to-follow steps * Key chapters devoted to calculations encountered when working with bacteria, phage, PCR, radioisotopes, recombinant DNA, centrifugation, oligonucleotides, protein, and forensic science. *Written for students and laboratory technicians but a useful reference for the more experienced researcher. *A valuable teaching resource. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BasicThis book was really simplistic. For freshman, it is ok, for the practice. Rating:  - A Calculator and This Book on Every Lab Bench. For most of my entry-level biotechnology students, it's not the science, it's the math. Adults and students in my three-year biotechnology pathway (San Mateo Biotechnology Career Pathway) have weak, incomplete or dated math backgrounds. Dr. Stephenson's "Calculations for Molecular Biology anf Biotechnology" quickly and clearly explains and demonstrates how to make the most common calculations done in biotechnology research and manufacturing. In a conversational way, ... Read More |
