Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology

Ghasem Najafpour | Elsevier Science | 2011-12-13 | 438 pages | English | PDF

Extensive application of bioprocesses has generated an expansion in biotechnological knowledge, generated by theapplication of biochemical engineering to biotechnology. Microorganisms produce alcohols and acetone that are used in industrial processes. The knowledge related to industrial microbiology has been revolutionized by the ability of genetically engineered cells to make many new products. Genetic engineering and gene mounting has been developed to enhance industrial fermentation. Ultimately, these bioprocesses have become a new way of developing commercial products. 

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology demonstrates the application of biological sciences in engineering with theoretical and practical aspects to enhance understanding of knowledge in this field. The book adopts a practical approach,showing related case studies with original research data. It is an ideal text book for college and university courses, which guides students through the lectures in a clear and well-illustrated manner. 

· Demonstrates the application of biological sciences in engineering with theoretical and practical aspects.

· Unique practical approach, using case studies, detailed experiments, original research data and problems and possible solutions.

· Gives detailed experiments with simple design equations and the required calculations.

DNA Fingerprinting in Plants: Principles, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition

Kurt Weising, Hilde Nybom, Kirsten Wolff, Gunter Kahl «DNA Fingerprinting in Plants: Principles, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition» Publisher: CRC | Edition: 2005 | ISBN: 0849314887 | PDF | 475 pages | 4 Mb

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade, newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow guide to the multitude of techniques available in DNA Fingerprinting in Plants: Principles, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition. Along with step-by-step annotated protocols, the authors fully discuss the technical aspects and modifications of existing techniques, the influence of reaction components and conditions, and the analysis of the results. This second edition has been completely revised to address the exponential changes in the field since the first edition, focusing on PCR-based techniques but also including more sophisticated ones. The authors include numerous case studies to illustrate applications of the methods, more than 1600 references to the literature, and descriptions of reagent formulation, equipment, and computer programs used for evaluating molecular marker data. They compare the various methods, including the costs and benefits of each, helping readers determine which is best suited to a particular application. The well-rounded, cross-referenced, and unified nature of this book makes it intrinsically easier to follow than the edited, multi-authored books currently available. It is an absolute necessity on the lab bench of anyone involved in plant research, DNA profiling, and molecular markers.

Forensic DNA Typing Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

by Angel Carracedo

Publisher: Humana Press | November 30, 2004 | ISBN: 1588292649 | Pages: 296 | PDF | 5.27 MB

A state-of-the-art collection of readily reproducible laboratory methods for DNA identity analysis, including Y chromosome haplotyping, mtDNA, and SNP typing. The book offers well-tested protocols for DNA quantification using real-time PCR on forensic samples and for the determination of the number of amelogenine gene copies. For forensic geneticists, there are readily reproducible methods for species identification, ancient DNA, and pharmacogenetics. Additional chapters address new applications in the forensic genetics lab, such a species identification or typing of CYP polymorphisms for the analysis of adverse to drugs.

Fundamentals of Forensic DNA Typing

John Butler

Ac emic P ss | ISBN : 0123749999 | 2009 | 519 pages | PDF | 2,8 MB   

John Butler, bestselling author of Forensic DNA Typing, now applies his expertise on the subject of DNA analysis into an introductory textbook. Fundamentals of Forensic DNA Typing walks students step-by-step through the DNA analysis process beginning with collection of evidence at a crime scene to the statistical interpretation of the results.

Also included are brief discussions of such news worthy topics as victim identification from the September 11, 2001 attacks, the identification of the remains of the Romanovs, the last Russian Royal family, and the O.J. Simpson case. New applications, such as genetic genealogy and tracing domestic pet hairs to perpetrators, are also detailed. With its clear and understandable style and extensive list of online ancillaries and study aids, this textbook will make the subject accessible to students in forensic science courses worldwide.
