General description
Use of antisense oligonucleotides is a powerful technique for silencing specific genes, but it requires careful optimization and species-specific methods for success. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert with a record of success at the bench; each includes authoritative guidance, tips for success, and trouble-shooting advice.
