The Condensed Protocols from Molecular Cloning

The Condensed Protocols From Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manualis a single–volume adaptation of the three–volume third edition of Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual.This condensed book contains only the step–by–step portions of the protocols, accompanied by selected appendices from the world's best–selling manual of molecular biology techniques. Each protocol is cross–referenced to the appropriate pages in the original manual. This affordable companion volume, designed for bench use, offers individual investigators the opportunity to have their own personal collection of short protocols from the essential Molecular Cloning.

Molecular Cloning

E. coli Plasmid Vectors

A comprehensive collection of readily reproducible techniques for the manipulation of recombinant plasmids using the bacterial host E. coli. The authors describe proven methods for cloning DNA into plasmid vectors, transforming plasmids into E. coli, and analyzing recombinant clones. They also include protocols for the construction and screening of libraries, as well as specific techniques for specialized cloning vehicles, such as cosmids, bacterial artificial chromosomes, l vectors, and phagemids. Common downstream applications such as mutagenesis of plasmids, recombinant protein expression, and the use of reporter genes, are also described.
