Molecular Biology Techniques

Molecular Biology Techniques: A Classroom Laboratory Manual, Fourth Edition is a must-have collection of methods and procedures on how to create a single, continuous, comprehensive project that teaches students basic molecular techniques. It is an indispensable tool for introducing advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students to the techniques of recombinant DNA technology—or gene cloning and expression. The techniques used in basic research and biotechnology laboratories are covered in detail. Students will gain hands-on experience on subcloning a gene into an expression vector straight through to the purification of the recombinant protein. Presents student-tested labs proven successful in real classroom laboratories Includes a test bank on a companion website for additional testing and practice Provides exercises that simulate a cloning project that would be performed in a real research lab Includes a prep-list appendix that contains necessary recipes and catalog numbers, providing staff with detailed instructions
