The technique of in situ hybridisation is vital to molecular biologists and their understanding of the pathophysiology of cellular functions. This practical guide covers all aspects of in situ hybridisation, describing: practical procedures and protocols, the scientific background, areas of application, and the limitations of the technology.

The technique of in situ hybridization is now vital to molecular biologists and their understanding of the pathophysiology of cellular functions. This practical guide covers all aspects of in situ hybridization, describing: practical procedures and protocols, the scientific background, areas of application, and the limitations of the technology. This new edition has been completely rewritten by the experts in the field to take into account the many advances in the last seven years.

Anyone contemplating using in situ hybridisation in their laboratory will need a thorough grounding in the background and principles of the methods. This book excels in its background presentation, with clear explanations and good referencing.....There are very fewbooks dealing with the practicalities of in situ hybridisation. This one makes a major contribution to the subject and therefore is invaluable as a reference for many scientists and clinicians Dr Deborah K Dun-Waters, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, No. 107 June 1999
