Molecular Techniques in Taxonomy - Nato a S I Series Series H, Cell Biology Author:England) NATO Advanced Study Institute on Molecular Techniques in Taxonomy (1990 : Norwich, Andrew Johnston, G. M. Hewitt, J. Peter W. Young Taxonomy is fundamental to understanding the variety of life forms, and exciting expansions in molecular biology are re- volutionising the obtained data. This volume reviews the ma- jor molecular biological techniques that are applied in ta- xonomy. The chapters are arranged in three main sections:1) Overviews of important topics in mo... more »lecular taxonomy; 2) Case studies of the successful application of molecular methods to taxonomic and evolutionary questions; 3) Protocols for a range of generally applicable methods. The described techni- ques include DNA-DNA hybridization, DNA fingerprinting, RFLP analysis, and PCR sequencing.« less
