A desktop companion to the three-volume Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, the recognized leader in bioscience laboratory manuals. This edition contains over 220 protocols from leading laboratories worldwide. All methods are lab-tested and include step-by-step instructions, equipment and materials necessary to successfully conduct an experiment.

Updated to reflect advances in the field, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of recombinant DNA techniques. Written for advanced undergraduates, graduates and scientists who want to use this technology, emphasis is placed on the concepts underlying particular types of cloning vectors to aid understanding and to enable readers to devise suitable strategies for novel experimental situations. An introduction to the basic biochemical principles is presented first. Then PCR and cloning using E. coli hosts and plasmid, phage and hybrid vectors are described, followed by the generation and screening of libraries and how to modify, inactivate or express cloned sequences. Finally genetic manipulation in a range of other organisms is discussed, including other bacteria, fungi, algae and plants, insects and mammals. A series of 'real-life' biological problems are also presented to enable readers to assess their understanding of the material and to prepare for exams.

Bioinformatics for Everyone provides a brief overview on currently used technologies in the field of bioinformatics—interpreted as the application of information science to biology— including various online and offline bioinformatics tools and softwares. The book presents valuable knowledge in a simplified way to help students and researchers easily apply bioinformatics tools and approaches to their research and lab routines. Several protocols and case studies that can be reproduced by readers to suit their needs are also included. - Explains the most relevant bioinformatics tools available in a didactic manner so that readers can easily apply them to their research - Includes several protocols that can be used in different types of research work or in lab routines - Discusses upcoming technologies and their impact on biological/biomedical sciences

The second edition explains the principles of recombinant DNA technology as well as other important techniques such as DNA sequencing, the polymerase chain reaction, and the production of monclonal antibodies.
