Offering a unique compendium of the various biomedical research techniques employed today, the Handbook of Biological Research Methodology complements existing protocol books by focusing on the principles that underlie the protocols. Consistently organized for easy reference, the text presents each technique with an introduction and overview of its applications, before delving into the principles that describe and define the technique's underlying fundamentals. Sample protocols are included where appropriate. The techniques are grouped into five general sections: Data acquisition and Analysis, Cellular Techniques, Proteomics Techniques, Genomics Techniques, and Immunologic techniques.
