Overview

A timely book for DNA researchers, Automated DNA Sequencing and Analysis reviews and assesses the state of the art of automated DNA sequence analysis—from the construction of clone libraries to the development of laboratory and community databases.

Content and Approach

It presents the methodologies and strategies of automated DNA sequence analysis in a way that allows them to be compared and contrasted. By taking a broad view of the process of automated sequence analysis, the present volume bridges the gap between the protocols supplied with instrument and reaction kits and the finalized data presented in the research literature.

Target Audience and Benefits

It will be an invaluable aid to both small laboratories that are interested in taking maximum advantage of automated sequence resources and to groups pursuing large-scale cDNA and genomic sequencing projects.

Relevance and Future Outlook

The field of automation in DNA sequencing and analysis is rapidly moving. This book fulfills those needs, reviews the history of the art, and provides pointers to future development.
