Gene expression systems

the long version

Recombinant gene expression is the fastest growing area in the study of molecular biology. By the time the Human Genome Project is completed (about 2002), several thousand sequences will be known, but the purpose of the resultant expression products will remain a mystery. Gene discovery requires efficient expression systems for determining the structure and function of gene products. Gene Expression Systems covers a variety of promoters and host organisms that researchers can tailor to their specific needs.
