Insect Transgenesis: Methods and Applications
Editorial Reviews
Review
"… covers a dynamic and diverse field of research activities … provide[s] an extremely useful breadth and depth of information within one volume … Insect Transgenesis: Methods and Applications is a welcome and highly recommended addition to the bookshelf of insect molecular biologists. …brings together major contributors to present a wide-ranging overview of the history, approaches, methodologies and applications of insect transgenesis. …The editors have done a fine job of allowing the authors enough freedom while still ensuring sufficient consistency for the chapters to form a coherent whole….cross-referencing between chapters is extremely good for such a multi-author text." Peter F. Billingsley, Department of Zoology, University of Aberdeen, Scotland "… a highly technical and scholarly treatise of the state of the art and science of one of the daughter fields of modern genetics … for a complete and focused discussion of the techniques and applications of genetically manipulated insects, this reviewer strongly recommends Insect Transgenesis." -Abelardo C. Moncayo, Ph.D., University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, USA in Annals of the Entomological Society of America
Book Description
Insect Transgenesis: Methods and Applications is the first publication to describe in a comprehensive manner the various methodologies available, possible applications, and the risk assessment and regulatory issues involved in this fascinating area of research. Divided into several areas of interest, the book starts with an overview of the history and methodology of insect gene transfer, then examines gene targeting by homologous recombination and recombination systems, and systems for transgenic selection.Other sections consider the use of various vector systems to integrate DNA into a host genome or to express foreign genes in a host organism.Marketing Class Code: 1GShelving Guide: Entomology, BiologyCategory: Entomology, Molecular BiologySubcategory: Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology
