Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This detailed volume examines fine-tuned methodologies using the planarian species, Schmidtea mediterranea . The book features experimental protocols covering topics from in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, cell dissociation and flow cytometry, to pipelines for the analysis of large datasets, as in genomics and transcriptomics. 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, Schmidtea mediterranea: Methods and Protocols provides both experts in the field and newcomers with the best possible toolbox for their everyday lab work utilizing this valuable model.
