From the reviews: "The book appears to provide a practical guide on a number of laboratory-based molecular methods that are likely to be useful in carrying out human and animal experiments to generate data and information for ... complex cardiovascular conditions. ... Although this book is well produced with excellent layout, it will probably find a ... place on any researcher's book shelf. ... laboratories may consider keeping a copy in the library for quick reference and useful in teaching and training of young investigators in molecular genomics."
