This book was written for graduate and medical students, as well as clinicians and postdoctoral researchers. It describes the theory of alternative pre-m RNA splicing in
twelve introductory chapters and then introduces protocols and their theoretical background relevant for experimental research. These 43 practical chapters cover: Basic methods, Detection of splicing events, Analysis of alternative pre-m RNA splicing in vitro and in vivo, Manipulation of splicing events, and Bioinformatic analysis of alternative splicing.
A theoretical introduction and practical guide for molecular biologists, geneticists, clinicians and every researcher interested in alternative splicing.
