White Preface to the Second Edition After publication of the first edition of this monograph many of the de scribed nonradioactive labeling and detection methods have been updated and successfully adapted to a variety of basic, medical and biotechnology applications of the life sciences. Especially within the medical field the in creasing numerous nonradioactive protocols resulted in an accelleration of basic and clinical research as well as a rapid increase of various applications using nonradioactive methods which are based on both hybridization tech niques and on the sequence information obtained by large scale sequencing. During in the last seven years the Human Genome Project - with the aim of getting sequence information on the whole human genome - markedly sti mulated the development of novel nonradioactive technologies and gave rise to many new methods for nucleic acid analysis. In the period of a few years, these new methods became standard techniques not only in molecular biol ogy research laboratories but also clinical and governmental laboratories working on finding, characterizing, cloning, expression and functional char acterization of many genes. Furthermore these new methods resulted in a large number of protocols for diagnosis and mutation analysis of disease related human genes, and also in novel applications like fingerprint analyses for parental identification or for clearing up of crime. In addition, the gen omes of a variety of bacterial species as well as eukaryotic plants and animals are being analyzed with increasing efforts. Due to the selectivity and cooperativity of base pairing, nucleic acid ana lysis facilitates high levels of specificity and sensitivity and even sequence specific detection of single molecules by means of integration of highly effi cient amplification reactions into the overall analytic reaction schemes. The breadth and flexibility of the analytical techniques available is the basis of a number of medical and biotechnological approaches, such as diagnosis of infectious diseases (detection of viruses, bacteria or funghi), transplantation diagnostics (histocompatibility analysis), forensic and veterinary medicine (fingerprint analysis), plant breeding (resistance pattern analysis), analyses in the fields of foodstuffs and the environment (pathogenicity tests), produc tion of recombinant pharmaceutically effective human proteins (specificity analysis) and monitoring functions in genetic laboratories (security tests). VIII Preface to the Second Edition Use of molecular methods in the medical sector not only enhances diag nostic and therapeutic potentials for infections diseases, but also leads far beyond this to completely new approaches in Molecular Medicine focussed in oncology and genetic diseases. The most important goal of Molecular Medicine is the identification of spe cific genetic alterations as causes of resulting oncopathological manifesta tions and hereditary diseases but also responsible for persistent infections. Knowledge of the molecular basis of these diseases at the sequence level is the prerequisite for subsequent development of causal genetic diagnosis and genetic therapy concepts. The Human Genome Project, scheduled for 15 years from the beginning of the nineties and aiming the exhaustive deter mination of the sequential structure of the human genome, forms the con ceptual basis of such knowledge. The second edition of this monograph was updated for many protocol im provements and a variety of new applications in nonradioactive analysis of biomolecules especially useful for applications in Molecular Medicine as well as other applications in the above described fields of basic research and ap plications in the medical or biotechnology sector. This includes a markedly broadened application section including e.g. new protocols and methods for in situ hybridization, sequencing, hybridization on chips, mass spectroscopy or quantitative real-time amplification formats like the 5' -nuclease (TaqMan) format. However, also current nonradioactive methods were updated with new protocols and actual references were included. In addition, a new appen dix was included with a list of over 1000 application-oriented literature for use of the nonradioactive digoxigenin system. This reference list is available on the Springer server (www.springer.de/books/tocl3540646019-ac.pdf). Thus the second edition of this monograph contains not only the various methods for nonradioactive labeling and detection of biomolecules but was broadened to a more complete set of nonradioactive methods for analysis of biomolecules with the focus on nucleic acids. I am most indebted to the many authors giving contributions to this mono graph. Their excellent efforts to write completely new chapters or updating their contributions from the first edition give rise to a monograph including actual protocols and information for nonradioactive analysis of bio molecules. I also wish to express my gratitude to Jutta Lindenborn and Springer-Verlag for proposing this second edition and giving publishing sup port; Monika Ortmann and Annemarie Will for superb secretarial skills. Finally I want to thank all my colleagues and partners from industry and university for their contributions on new methods and applications of non radioactive bioanalytics.
