Additional chapters address other technologies found in the clinical laboratory that complementary to molecular diagnostic technologies and discuss genetic counseling and the ethical and social issues involved with nucleic acid testing.

Review:
tons of information
The textbook is great, has a tremendous amount of information, but I was disappointed that there were no color photos or graphs. It' a little difficult to distinguish sequence or scan peaks, when the description below says "and the blue line is..", etc. Just a little disappointing in that respect, especially for the price of the book. It looks almost like a cheaper version of a real text.
