An Introduction to Biotechnology: A Genetic Manipulation Perspective contains practical exercises, and has a comprehensive coverage on the subjects of biotechnology and gene manipulation for the students' understanding of the basic concepts. This manual contains, in particular, the techniques, protocols and practical approaches that are being used routinely in molecular biology laboratories. This book is assembled together with an aim to enlighten the readers with the complex molecular biology protocols in a simple and straightforward manner.||About the Author: Prof. Rup Lal is also the Dean (Examination) at the same university. His primary research interests include elucidating microbial diversity using culture dependent and culture independent (metagenomics) approaches from stressed environments. He has characterized nearly 40 bacterial species, 12 bacterial genomes and three metagenomes from stressed niches. Apart from this, his group has explored the genetics and biochemistry of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) degradation, especially using sphingomonads isolated from the HCH dump site.
