Book Description

This Cancer Driver Genes: Methods and Protocols (PDF) ebook covers methods and protocols for identifying genetic factors that contribute to the development of cancer. In the next chapters, readers will be led through a brief history of cancer gene discovery, as well as approaches employing in vitro and in silico methods, as well as in vivo methods using forward genetic screens in mice. Written in the format of the immensely popular Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, step-by-step instructions, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cancer Driver Genes: Methods and Protocols aims to provide protocols that will be used and adapted by cancer researchers to expand the knowledge base of molecular mechanisms contributing to the progression, initiation, and metastasis of cancer. This book is authoritative and on the cutting edge of the field of cancer research.
