Description
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.
Audience
Graduate and undergraduate students studying biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, and cell biology
