This course manual instructs students in recombinant DNA techniques and other essential molecular biology techniques in the context of projects. The project approach inspires and captivates students; it involves them in the scientific experience, providing continuity to laboratory bench time and an understanding of the principles underlying the techniques presented.
Molecular Biology is a must for any department, operating under budgetary constraints that offers or plans to offer a course in molecular cloning.
- Includes a glossary of over 200 terms important for understanding molecular biology
- Uses an inexpensive source of eukaryotic cells - great for schools on a budget
- Includes Methods Locator that provides instant access to the latest methods
- Contain clearly written, easy-to-follow, student-tested instructions:
- Sterile techniques
- Phage titration
- Gel electrophoresis of DNA
- Restriction enzyme digestion
- Plasmid isolation
