Capillary Electrophoresis of Nucleic Acids - Methods in Molecular Biology 2001 edition

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexReview Quotes: "These volumes comprehensively and accurately present CE technology and techniques with an emphasis on providing an understanding of the theory and instrumentation (Vol. 1), as well as detailed examples of successful analytical protocols (both volumes)... Chapters on the use of microchip and mass spectrometric detection are also included... Although numerous experimental protocols can be found in Vol. 1, it is clear that the intent is to communicate the underlying theory and capability of CE for separations. Vol. 1 should be of interest to the novice as well as the expert. In Vol. 2, each of the 31 chapters present specific examples of the use of CE... Nonetheless, these two volumes of the Methods in Molecular Biology series offer a representative and needed overview of the current theory and practice of CE of nucleic acids. These texts should prove very useful to both active investigators in this area and those seeking to learn more about the use and and capability of CE." - Clinical Chemistry Review for both volumes: "This two-volume set of books comprises 64 chapters of protocols for the analysis of just about every form and size of nucleic acids that one can imagine. Thus it rates near an "A" for its comprehensiveness." -Analytical Chemistry ."..rates near an "A" for its comprehensiveness." - Analytical ChemistryJacket Description/Back: The advent of capillary electrophoresis (CE), with its power to separate and analyze very small amounts of DNA, has generated a host of DNA analytical procedures. In these novel and wide-ranging volumes of Capillary Electrophoresis of Nucleic Acids, an outstanding panel of hands-on experts and developers of CE equipment describe in step-by-step fashion their best cutting-edge methods for the detection and analysis of DNA mutations and modifications, ranging from precise DNA loci to entire genomes of organisms. This first volume of the set, Introduction to the Capillary Electrophoresis of Nucleic Acids, covers the practical and theoretical considerations behind the use of capillary electrophoresis for the analysis of small oligonucleotides and modified nucleotides. Along with detailed instructions ensuring ready reproducibility, these protocols offer time-tested advice on instrumentation, signal detection, the capillary environment, and the integration of mass spectrometry with CE. Several chapters are devoted to the analysis of small therapeutic oligonucleotides, nucleosides, and ribonucleotides by CE. The companion volume, Practical Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis, addresses techniques for high-throughput analysis of DNA fragments using SNP detection, mutation detection, DNA sequencing methods, and DNA-ligand interactions. Comprehensive and up-to-date, the paired volumes of Capillary Electrophoresis of Nucleic Acids offer an authoritative guide with easy access to fast, versatile, reliable, and powerful technologies for all those basic and clinical investigators analyzing DNA variation today.

Analysis"Publisher Marketing: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides researchers with the ability to separate and analyze very small amounts of DNA. CE offers important advantages over other available methods because of the speed and reproducibility of analysis. Further, the high sensitivity of detection and the ability to increase sample throughput with parallel analysis has led to the creation of a full range of techniques for the analysis of DNA molecules, from modified DNA-adducts and single strand oligonucleotides through to PCR-amplified DNA fragments and whole chromosomes. Capillary Electrophoresis of Nucleic Acids provides these analytical protocols, which can be used for detection and analysis of mutations and modifications to precise DNA loci through to entire genomes of organisms. Volume I broadly addresses instrumentation, signal detection and the capillary environment, as well as the integration of mass spectrometry and CE for the analysis of small oligonucleotides and modified nucleotides. It opens with a description of the basic CE instrumentation and discusses DNA sequencing by CE and the methods for the manufacture of microchip devices. Review Citations:
