This manual 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 gain hands-on experience from start to finish in subcloning a gene into an expression vector, through purification of the recombinant protein.The second edition has been completely re-written, with new laboratory exercises and all new illustrations and text, designed for a typical 15-week semester, rather than a 4-week intensive course. The "project approach to experiments was maintained: students still follow a cloning project through to completion, culminating in the purification of recombinant protein. It takes advantage of the enhanced green fluorescent protein—students can actually visualize positive clones following IPTG induction.*Cover basic concepts and techniques used in molecular biology research labs*Student-tested labs proven successful in a real classroom laboratories*Exercises simulate a cloning project that would be performed in a real research lab*"Project" approach to experiments gives students an overview of the entire process*Prep-list appendix contains necessary recipes and catalog numbers, providing staff with detailed instructions

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

Molecular Biology Techniques: A Classroom Laboratory Manual, Fifth Edition, is an in-depth laboratory manual for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the general field of molecular biology techniques and biochemical applications. Presented as a series of coordinated experiments that mimics either a one- or two-semester research experience, the book also provides theories and explanations behind the techniques. Topics include manipulation of recombinant DNA, protein expression and purification, analysis of mRNA levels, mammalian cell culture techniques, CRISPR-mediated gene knockdown, and more. New topics, such as Gibson assembly experiments, have also been included. For instructors, the book contains easy to follow guides and preparation lists, designed to facilitate lab setup and pre-lab questions for use as a teaching tool.Presents student-tested labs proven successful in real classroom laboratoriesCovers updated lab sessions that focus on silico methodsIncludes quizzes, discussion questions and further online resources for students, as well as lab preparation lists for instructor useAlso includes updates such as Gibson assembly experiments and lab session flow charts for easier selection
