Expert international research workers offer the most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of techniques available for expressing one or more genes of interest. The authoritative contributors describe in depth the vectors used for expression in bacteria, yeast, viruses, nonmammalian higher eukaryotes, mammals, and plants, as well as in transgenic animals. They also provide invaluable detailed information on how to introduce the recombinant gene construct into the appropriate expression host. When combined with a companion volume by the same editor, Recombinant Proteins: Detection and Isolation Protocols, both volumes guide the research worker through the entire journey of recombinant gene expression.
