A comprehensive treasury of all the key molecular biology methods-ranging from
DNA extraction to gene localization in situ-needed to function effectively in
the modern laboratory. Each of the 120 highly successful techniques follows the
format of the much acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series, providing an
introduction to the scientific basis of each technique, a complete listing of
all the necessary materials and reagents, and clear step-by-step instruction to
permit error-free execution. Included for each technique are notes about
pitfalls to avoid, troubleshooting tips, alternate methods, and explanations of
the reasons for certain steps-all key elements contributing significantly to
success or failure in the lab. The Nucleic Acid
