From the reviews:

“The book appears to provide a practical guide on a number of laboratory-based molecular methods that are likely to be useful in carrying out human and animal experiments to generate data and information for … complex cardiovascular conditions. … Although this book is well produced with excellent layout, it will probably find a … place on any researcher’s book shelf. … laboratories may consider keeping a copy in the library for quick reference and useful in teaching and training of young investigators in molecular genomics.” (Dhavendra Kumar, Human Genetics, Vol. 127, 2010)
