“…Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual fills the same niche in the laboratory…” Trends in Neurosciences

From the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (an institution with a long and varied history, and home of Eight Nobel laureates, including Dr. James Watson) comes the 4th edition of the one indispensable molecular biology laboratory manual for protocols and techniques.

The content for this latest edition of Molecular Cloning has been entirely recast to include nucleic-acid based methods selected as the most widely used and valuable in molecular and cellular biology laboratories – with core chapters from the third edition revised to feature current strategies and approaches to the preparation and cloning of nucleic acids, gene transfer, and expression analysis. Meanwhile, 12 new chapters show how DNA, RNA, and proteins should be prepared, evaluated, and manipulated, and how data generation and analysis can be handled.

Highlights of the new edition include:

• Expanded scope: the nucleic-acid-based techniques selected for inclusion have promoted recent advances in gene transfer, protein expression, RNA analysis, and expression of cloned genes
• Easy-to-follow format: the previous editions’ renowned attention to detail and accuracy are fully retained
• Essential appendices: an up-to-date collection of reagents, vectors, media, detection systems, and commonly used techniques are included
• Expanded authorship: chapters and protocols have been specifically commissioned from renowned experts at leading institutions

Personally, I have no idea about what much of the preceding means – but for those of you who do, the latest edition of your laboratory bible is waiting.
