G Protein‐Coupled Receptor Genetics: Research and Methods in the
Post‐Genomic Era features practical techniques inspired by the fast
moving GPCR field. From powerful bioinformatic tools tracing the
evolution of GPCRs, to methods for the cellular transfection of
engineered viruses containing GPCRs, to optogenetic techniques that
produce light-activated GPCRs in live mice, what was once science
fiction is now science fact. This detailed volume includes sections
covering genetic mechanisms, a genetic toolbox for GPCR discovery, as
well as genetic aspects of G protein-coupled receptors in health and
medicine. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology
series, this book contains the kind of key implementation advice that
encourages successful results in the lab.
Authoritative and easy to use, G Protein‐Coupled Receptor Genetics:
Research and Methods in the Post‐Genomic Era serves as an ideal guide
for researchers aiming to continue our progress in this dynamic and
exciting area of study.
