This unique dictionary offers current, detailed, accessible information to lecturers, researchers, students and technicians throughout the biomedical and related sciences." "This book is more up-to-date than existing textbooks - with over 2000 references from mainstream journals; clear explanations of terms, techniques, and tests, including commercial systems, with detailed coverage of many important procedures and methods; explains not only well-established techniques but also new technology from the latest research journals, going well beyond the remit of most science dictionaries; essay-style entries on many major topics to assist newcomers to the field; and covers topics relevant to medicine (diagnosis and gene therapy); veterinary science; biotechnology; biochemistry; pharmaceutical science/drug development; molecular biology; microbiology; epidemiology; genomics; environmental science; plant science/agriculture; taxonomy; and forensic science."--BOOK JACKET.
