This second edition explores techniques involving pseudogenic DNA, RNA, and proteins. Chapters describe how to identify pseudogenes and how to study the functions and alterations of pseudogenic RNA and proteins, both in vitro , and in vivo . Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, methodological chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting while avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Pseudogenes: Functions and Protocols, Second Edition aims to be a practical guide to researches, useful to help further their study in this field.
