Hox Genes: Methods and Protocols explores techniques and methodologies which arose from or were
successfully applied to the study of Hox genes and Hox proteins at the intersection of
experimental embryology genetics biochemistry physiology evolutionary biology and other
life sciences. This detailed volume begins with a section on discovery and functional analysis
of Hox genes and then it continues onward to discuss mode of action and biomedical applications
of Hox proteins. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format
chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and
reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting
and avoiding known pitfalls.Expert and practical Hox Genes: Methods and Protocols serves as an
ideal guide to researchers striving to move forward in this dynamic and exciting area of study.
