Cell-Cycle Synchronization

This volume covers a broad range of cell types including cultured cell lines, primary cells, and various unicellular organisms such as fission yeast, budding yeast, parasite Leishmania amazonensis, and parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The chapters in this book are organized into four parts. Part One looks at a general overview of cell cycle control and synchronization. Part Two discusses techniques to synchronize mammalian cells to various cell cycle phases including mitotic sub-phases. Part Three covers synchronization of unicellular organisms and Part Four analyzes cell cycle progression. 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.



Cutting-edge and thorough, Cell-Cycle Synchronization: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert scientists in this developing field.
