Description The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications
in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and
reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields
of life sciences.
RNA Interference will cover RNAi in non-vertebrates (plants, C. elegans, drosophila, and S. pombe),
and Mammalian systems (human and non-human cells). This volume discusses extensive methodology related to delivery methods high throughput
strategies and prospects as a human therapy agent.
