From the reviews of the second edition:"Detailed protocols for analysis of specific examples of RNA protein interactions are described. ... Anyone studying RNA protein interactions should seriously consider reading this book, not only as a technical reference, but also as a source of ideas. ... It's a book for the lab bench and the PIs office. Highly recommended." (Laurence Tiley, Microbiology Today, February, 2009)"The second edition of RNA-protein interaction protocols is part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series and includes detailed methods covering a wide range of approaches to characterise RNA-protein interactions. ... This book ... is well written, well indexed and well referenced. Each protocol is described in enough detail to be followed by an experienced user. For an RNA-based laboratory this book provides an excellent description of the latest techniques with particular attention given to manipulation of RNPs from in vivo sources."
