Much of that challenge lies with the need for improved tools and methods that researchers require to perform novel analyses beyond the DNA level. Fortunately, rapid advances in nanotechnology, are now being employed to examine, analyze, and manipulate biological material at the chromosome level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChromosome Nanoscience and Technology\u003c\/b\u003e reviews these advances and their contribution to trends and applications in chromosome research. In addition to offering a guide to current progress, this book serves as the culminating report on a Japanese nanobiology project in the field of chromosome science begun in 2000. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project brought together researchers from disparate backgrounds that included molecular biology, biochemistry, protein science, immunology, genetics, anatomy, semiconductor production, polymer chemistry, material science, microscopy, and informatics, among others. Looking at chromosomes as nanomaterials, their contributions cover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDevices for chromosome handling, \u003c\/b\u003ewhich includes the construction and application of nano and micro devices used for dissecting, analyzing, and manipulating chromosomes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eVisualization of chromosomes at nano and micro levels\u003c\/b\u003e, which discusses methods for revealing nano-level folding of chromatin fibers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eChromosomes as nanomaterials\u003c\/b\u003e, which presents a new chromosome protein framework based on the cataloging of over 200 chromosomal proteins\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eInformatics of chromosome images\u003c\/b\u003e, which examines a new chromosome image database system for animals and plants\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis project, initiated a few years ago, now lays the groundwork for those scientists looking to perform further research in chromosome science. It provides them with starting points, as well as useful applications and methodology to assist in the long quest to gain a deepened understanding of life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583966732526,"sku":"9781420044911","price":302.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/chromosome-nanoscience-and-technology-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
