Reviews

I found the writing style uniformly clear and straightforward throughout....I noticed the well-organized, parallel structure of most chapters, which made them easy to follow and gave evidence of some rather careful editing. Practical Molecular Virology provides a concise, well-organized, well-written...selective overview of eukaryotic viral vectors. As an entry-level text, it surely will assist those wishing to use such vectors to make a choice among established systems. Does this book meet its objective? I believe it does. Methods books are notoriously hard to execute well, but this one succeeds by carefully defining its own niche and then occupying it. -ASM News
