4. Molecular Biology Techniques: A Classroom Laboratory Manual

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B006CF8I4M&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=microbiologyn 20&language=en USir?t=microbiologyn 20&language=en US&l=li3&o=1&a=B006CF8I4M

Author: Heather B. Miller (Author), D. Scott Witherow (Author), Sue Carson (Author)

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 third 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

5. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=1936113422&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=microbiologyn 20&language=en USir?t=microbiologyn 20&language=en US&l=li3&o=1&a=1936113422

Author: Michael R. Green (Author), Joseph Sambrook (Author)

Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years. No other manual has been so popular, or so influential. Molecular Cloning, Fourth Edition, by the celebrated founding author Joe Sambrook and new co-author, the distinguished HHMI investigator Michael Green, preserves the highly praised detail and clarity of previous editions and includes specific chapters and protocols commissioned for the book from expert practitioners at Yale, U Mass, Rockefeller University, Texas Tech, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Washington University, and other leading institutions. The theoretical and historical underpinnings of techniques are prominent features of the presentation throughout, information that does much to help trouble-shoot experimental problems. For the fourth edition of this classic work, the content has been entirely recast to include nucleic-acid based methods selected as the most widely used and valuable in molecular and cellular biology laboratories. Core chapters from the third edition have been revised to feature current strategies and approaches to the preparation and cloning of nucleic acids, gene transfer, and expression analysis. They are augmented by 12 new chapters which show how DNA, RNA, and proteins should be prepared, evaluated, and manipulated, and how data generation and analysis can be handled. The new content includes methods for studying interactions between cellular components, such as microarrays, next-generation sequencing technologies, RNA interference, and epigenetic analysis using DNA methylation techniques and chromatin immunoprecipitation. To make sense of the wealth of data produced by these techniques, a bioinformatics chapter describes the use of analytical tools for comparing sequences of genes and proteins and identifying common expression patterns among sets of genes. Please take a look at our book preview site at molecularcloning.com. Building on thirty years of trust, reliability, and authority, the fourth edition of Molecular Cloning is the new gold standard–the one indispensable molecular biology laboratory manual and reference source.

8 . Genomic Diversity: Applications in Human Population Genetics 

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B000WENCIQ&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=microbiologyn 20&language=en USir?t=microbiologyn 20&language=en US&l=li3&o=1&a=B000WENCIQ

Author: Surinder Singh Papiha (Editor), Ranjan Deka (Editor), Ranajit Chakraborty (Editor)

One of the major themes of human population genetics is assaying genetic variation in human populations. The ultimate goal of this objective is to understand the extent of genetic diversity and the use of this knowledge to reconstruct our evolutionary history. The discipline had undergone a revolutionary transition with the advent of molecular techniques in the 1980s. With this shift, statistical methods have also been developed to perceive the biological and molecular basis of human genetic variation.

Using the new perspectives gained during the above transition, this volume describes the applications of molecular markers spanning the autosomal, Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial genome in the analysis of human diversity in contemporary populations. This is the first reference book of its kind to bring together data from these diverse sets of markers for understanding evolutionary histories and relationships of modern humans in a single volume

9. Genomics Applications for the Developing World (Advances in Microbial Ecology Book 2)

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00A9YGJ9S&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=microbiologyn 20&language=en USir?t=microbiologyn 20&language=en US&l=li3&o=1&a=B00A9YGJ9S

Author: Karen E. Nelson (Editor), Barbara Jones-Nelson

This book evolved from the editors strong belief that the information and new developments that were evolving from the rapidly growing field of genomics and that are happening primarily in the developed world have not happened at a parallel rate in the developing world. One would have hoped that by now the technologies and approaches would have been adapted on a far greater scale. In addition to this, the associated information is not always easily accessible, and is not disseminated in a format that can become a useful reference for scientists, students and others who reside in developing countries.

Abstract: Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology is a rapidly developing and promising area of biology that has the potential to manufacture better crops, create better vaccines, and cure various genetic diseases. Throughout this article, we explore the endless possibilities created with recombinant DNA technology. In fact, we investigate and evaluate novel applications of rDNA, namely the use of rDNA for gene therapy, vaccinations, antibody production, and even clean energy production. Moreover, we outline the safety implications, ethical dilemmas, and environmental implications associated with rDNA, and how to combat them. Finally, we outline computer modeling and bioinformatics, and its implications in rDNA.
