The Condensed Protocols From Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual is a single?volume adaptation of the three?volume third edition of Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual. This condensed book contains only the step?by?step portions of the protocols, accompanied by selected appendices from the world?s best?selling manual of molecular biology techniques. Each protocol is cross?referenced to the appropriate pages in the original manual. This affordable companion volume, designed for bench use, offers individual investigators the opportunity to have their own personal collection of short protocols from the essential Molecular Cloning.
