This second edition volume brings together the experiences of leading scientists in the
discipline of cancer gene profiling. Because cancer genes can be profiled in many different
ways  Cancer Gene Profiling: Methods and Protocols  Second Edition explores different
techniques and approaches needed to understand the key stages of cancer development  as using
only one technique would be insufficient. This book provides readers with an overview of the
state-of-the-art methods that will enable them to perform these experiments  and demonstrates
the kind of analysis that is possible in our current biomedical research. 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.Thorough and cutting-edge  Cancer Gene Profiling: Methods and Protocols  Second
Edition is a great resource for any student or practitioner with an interest in cancer gene
profiling  and can be used in any well-equipped research laboratory.
