Reviewer: Joseph Lopez
The three distinguished editors of this admirable and timely text correctly describe molecular diagnostics as the youngest and fastest growing field. They have assembled an outstanding group of authors, among whom are two from the Asia-Pacific region, to compile this book which is suitable for anyone with an interest in laboratory medicine, from students to teachers to practitioners of our profession.
The book is divided into 4 sections. The first section of the book appropriately begins with chapters on the basic principles of molecular biology and nucleic acid chemistry, followed by a description of the genomic alterations interrogated in molecular diagnostic assays. The following section is on techniques, instrumentation and operational principles for a molecular diagnostics laboratory and succinctlyn
