Abstract

In assembling this book, Protocols for Nucleic Acid Analysis by Nonradioactive Probes, I have endeavored to select protocols that have wide applicability. My aim in doing so is to allow nucleic acid analysis to move from the confines of specialized research labora- ries and into general purpose and teaching laboratories. In particular, disciplines such as population biology and clinical diagnostics (where the application of the technology is important, not the technology itself) will find the newer techniques easier to perform with the qu- tity of samples that are normally required in these fields. Die-hard molecular biologists with hot fingers will find, by trying some of the protocols in this book, that nonradioactive protocols are normally faster than their radioactive brethren, and give more reliable results. An expanded description of the subject areas covered by this book is given in Chapter 1. The technology herein has very broad application; for instance, in conventional molecular biology research, population biology, plant and animal breeding, genetic mapping, paternity testing, forensics, prenatal diagnosis, and clinical and food microbiology. I have tried to include comprehensive protocols for both basic and more complex analyses. There are chapters dealing with the fundamentals of nucleic acid extraction from plants and a- mals, and with the procedures necessary to immobilize nucleic acids on solid supports. A range of labeling procedures is included, f- lowed by a selection of hybridization procedures.

Abstract

Paying particular attention to how politicians and bureaucrats in the two countries deal with the scientific uncertainty that pervades environmental decision making, Harrison and Hoberg analyse case studies of seven controversial substances suspected of causing cancer in humans: the pesticides Alar and alachlor, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, radon gas, dioxin, saccharin, and asbestos. They weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each country's approach according to five criteria: stringency and timeliness of the regulatory decision, balancing of risks and benefits by decision makers, opportunities for public participation, and the interpretation of science in regulatory decision making. The Canadian approach is exemplified by closed decision making, case-by-case review that relies heavily on expert judgement, and limited public debate about the scientific basis of regulatory decisions. In contrast, regulatory science in the United States is characterized by publication of lengthy rationales for regulatory decisions, reliance on standardized procedures for risk assessment, and controversy surrounding the interpretation of scientific evidence.
