Nucleic Acids as Molecular Diagnostics

By integrating technology, supporting infrastructure and efficient application, this all–in–one guide presents molecular diagnostics as an essential component of modern, personalized clinical practice. It considers all important aspects, from the hardware and software needed, to recent improvements in blood– and non–bloodbased biomarker tests. Chapters on ethical challenges and a look at current trends and the latest innovations are also included. Bridging the gap between industry and academia, this is a highly useful resource for practitioners as well as for developers of modern, DNA– and RNA–based molecular diagnostics.
