Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This detailed volume collects techniques to study the highly regulated cell cycle process. Beginning with chapters investigating these processes and assessing how cells respond when these complicated pathways are simplified by using synthetic biology and in vitro reconstitutions, the book continues by exploring how cells sense and respond to environmental conditions, different model systems and cellular types used to visualize cellular architecture during cell division, as well as innovative single cell microscopy techniques to highlight the heterogeneity of the cell population with respect to cell cycle progression. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. 
Authoritative and practical, Cell Cycle Control: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers attempting to elucidate this vital area of cell biology.
