SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE PREVIOUS VOLUMES:""In perusing these chapters, I found much of interest. It is worth investigating.""- P. Bricknell in BIOTECHNOLOGY AND APPLIED BIOCHEMISTRY.""Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell.""-BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.* * Provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology* Contributions from leade.
