This volume is a compilation of sixteen chapters that detail reverse genetics protocols. Reverse Genetics of RNA Viruses: Methods and Protocols guides readers through comprehensive protocols on RNA viruses, that were the most challenging to obtain and/or that were developed most recently. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Reverse Genetics of RNA Viruses: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
