The Isolation of Genes: A Review of Advances in the Enrichment, Isolation, and in vitro Synthesis of Specific Cistrons

  • Chapter
Book cover Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology 3

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 3))

Abstract

Answers to many of the outstanding questions about the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins will require direct studies with isolated genes. These questions include details about: (1) the structure of the gene; (2) the mechanism and regulation of gene expression, and (3) in at least certain cases, post-transcriptional events which modify a primary gene product.

The literature survey pertaining to this review was concluded in March, 1972.

The abbreviations used in this article follow the recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Combined Coznmission of Biochemical Nomenclature (CBN).
