From the reviews:“This book on RNA and DNA Editing, Methods and Protocols provides methods to study editing substrates, mechanisms of specificity and functions of RNA and DNA editing enzymes and complexes … . The apparent audience is molecular biologists interested in RNA and DNA editing.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2012)“It is quite timely that a Methods book dedicated at experimental approaches to investigate RNA editing mechanisms should find its rightful place in the series. To achieve this aim, the editor … has successfully united many leading experts in this field to write several Chapters dedicated at explaining state-of-the-art techniques … . this is an invaluable store of information that can potentially save weeks or months spent simply in learning what-to-do and what-not-to-do when setting up a particular procedure in their own lab.” (Emanuele Buratti, Molecular Biotechnology, September, 2011)
