Peptide Nucleic Acids, Morpholinos and Related Antisense Biomolecules

Download or read book Peptide Nucleic Acids, Morpholinos and Related Antisense Biomolecules written by Christopher Janson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is unique to the existing literature in the Peptide Nucleic Acid field, in that it focuses on comparing and contrasting PNA with other available oligonucleotide homologues and considers areas in which these biomolecules could be profitably applied to clinical and diagnostic applications. Part I of the book addresses comparative strengths and weaknesses of various nucleoside homologues. Part II of the book addresses specific translational or clinical applications for PNA and related antisense biomolecules. The editors have succeeded in presenting a balanced yet broad view of the methods available for gene targeting and modification.
