Review quotes

"Given that the preceding Parts A and B of this series were both published nearly a decade ago (i.e., 2011), Part C offers a timely overview of recent technological advances and novel findings in these rapidly moving areas of research and development. This most recent addition to the prestigious Methods in Enzymology series complements, rather than competes with, the numerous books available on these topics, which generally focus on either synthetic or chemical biology or specific aspects thereof (e.g., "Inorganic Chemical Biology"or "Systems Biology Application in Synthetic Biology"), but not both, and rarely offer the detailed descriptions of specific methods and procedures found in this book." —Doody
