Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

The discovery of wide-spread RNA-based regulation in bacteria has led to new evaluations of the importance of bacterial regulatory RNA in every aspect of bacterial physiology. In

Bacteria Regulatory RNA: Methods and Protocols,

expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study bacterial regulatory RNA. These include methods and techniques to identify regulatory RNAs, characterizing the function and expression of regulatory RNAs in bacterial cells, RNA structure prediction, and interactions between regulatory RNAs and proteins. Written in the highly successful

Methods in Molecular Biology™

series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

 Authoritative and practical,

Bacteria Regulatory RNA: Methods and Protocols

seeks to aid scientists in the further study of bacterial regulatory RNA.
