Nuclease Methods and Protocols

Nucleases, the enzymes that cleave and shape nucleic acids, are key regulators of cellular metabolism. Angiogenesis and the unfolded protein response are just a few instances of important intra- and extracellular pathways regulated by nucleases. In Nuclease Methods and Protocols, researchers at the...
