About this book
Taking advantage of the many major advances that have occurred since their groundbreaking first edition was published, William B. Coleman and Gregory J. Tsongalis have updated and expanded their highly praised tutorial guide to molecular diagnostic techniques to include not only improved traditional methods, but also totally new molecular technologies, some not yet in routine use. The authors offer cutting-edge molecular diagnostics for genetic disease, human cancers, infectious diseases, and identity testing, as well as new insights into the question of quality assurance in the molecular diagnostics laboratory. Additional chapters address other technologies found in the clinical laboratory that are complementary to molecular diagnostic methodologies, and also discuss genetic counseling and the ethical and social issues involved with nucleic acid testing.
Authoritative and state-of-the-art, Molecular Diagnostics: For the Clinical Laboratorian, 2nd Edition is the essential textbook of choice for anyone working in molecular diagnostics and who wants to remain current with this rapidly changing field.
Reviews
"...the textbook of choice for anyone working in molecular diagnostics who wants to remain current with this rapidly changing field. -Clinical Laboratory International
From Reviews of the First Edition...
"...a very good introduction to the basic elements of molecular pathology...a clear, enjoyable read...an excellent discussion of methods." -Clinical Chemistry
"...highly recommended...for those interested in clinical molecular diagnosis...will satisfy those who are more expert in certain areas of molecular diagnosis, but who have been unable to keep up with the wide range of recent advances in molecular diagnosis." -American Journal of Clinical Pathology
"...gives a good theoretical background for those with little experience in this field. It is readable, comprehensive, and...up-to-date." -Journal of Clinical Pathology
"...well written, comprehensive...should bring even the reader with limited background knowledge up to speed on what is a rapidly progressing field." -Trends in Molecular Medicine
"...a timely and highly relevant book that will serve as a valuable resource to those practicing molecular diagnostics from the bench, as well as to basic and clinical scientists..." -Endocrine News
