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
