<p>In <i>Polyadenylation: Methods and Protocols</i>, expert researchers in the field detail many of the protocols which are now commonly used to study polyadenylation. Focusing on recent advances in the fast-moving polyadenylation filed, that has recently been recognized as a key contributor to the complexity of mammalian gene expression. Written in the highly successful <i>Methods in Molecular Biology</i> series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.</p>
