Molecular Biology Techniques: An Intensive Laboratory Course is a deep, detailed introduction to the tools, techniques and concepts that underlie the study of molecular biology.

What does this book cover?

Molecular Biology Techniques: An Intensive Laboratory Course looks at not just the tools of molecular biology but also the theoretical understanding you’ll need to conduct DNA sequencing, Northern blotting (RNA), Southern blotting (DNA), PCR and even cloning. It is an incredibly valuable resource for the educator, and for students who want to learn the latest, most advanced laboratory skills.

Key features of Molecular Biology Techniques include:

• Detailed end-of-chapter study questions and example answers
• A complete syllabus of experiments and all the preparation each will require
• Lists of all the reagents needed for each experiment, singularly and for the whole sequence
• Examples of reliable, standard experimental protocols suitable for each technique being demonstrated

About the Authors

Dr Katherine G Field is the Director of Oregon State University’s Bioresource Research Program and of its Bioenergy education Project. Most of her research work involves microbial evolution and environmental microbiology. Walt Ream, also of OSU, was awarded the Richard M. Bressler Senior Faculty Teaching Award for developing the core class this book covers.

In Molecular Biology Techniques, they present a guide to all of the tools and techniques of modern molecular biology.
