Several problems in modern genome mapping analysis belong to the field of discrete optimisation on a set of all possible orders. In this book, form...

New methods used for the detection of DNA hybridisation process, including electrochemical, optical scattering, surface plasmon resonance, nanograv...

Fingerprints have provided a valuable method of personal identification in forensic science and criminal investigations for over 100 years. Fingerp...

MicroRNAs are involved in crucial biological processes, including developmental timing, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and stress responses. This b...

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Thousands of miRNAs have been identified in dif...

MiRNA is an extremely fast growing field, and miRNA knowledge is now believed to be a pivotal element of cancer biology. It is already evident that...

DNA damage, due to environmental factors and normal metabolic processes inside the cell, occurs at a rate of 1,000 to 1,000,000 molecular lesions p...

Stem cells are cells found in all multi cellular organisms. They are characterised by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division...

This book presents the latest research on DNA damage, which due to environmental factors and normal metabolic processes inside the cell, occurs at ...

Proline might be the most studied amino acid in nature. Many authors have reviewed its many functions in cell homoeostasis. Not only it is essentia...

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), a universal enzyme present in essentially all living cells and organisms, has a central role in DNA replication and...

In somatic cells, DNA is normally wrapped around the histones octamer to forms nucleosomes that eventually give rise to a solenoid DNA structure. U...

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that catalyses the cellular synthesis of telomeric DNA during cellular division, resulting in maintenance ...

Mapping and, ultimately, deciphering the human genome is a major human and scientific adventure that involves thousands of researchers world-wide a...
