This detailed volume assembles a number of the most commonly used and state-of-the-art
methodologies in the revolutionary field of mRNA processing in order to aid researchers in
choosing the best method for their specific problems. Given that the vast majority of
alternative mRNA processing events has yet to be explored these techniques promise to breathe
new life into the myriad new ideas currently underway. 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. Practical and easy to use
mRNA Processing: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists venturing into what's certain to
be another explosive period of growth in this dynamic field of study.
