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.
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.
新版特点:
? Extensive new content: 12 entirely new chapters are devoted to
the most exciting current research strategies, including epigenetic
analysis, RNA interference, genome sequencing, and
bioinformatics
? Expanded scope: the nucleic-acid-based techniques selected for
inclusion have promoted recent advances in gene transfer, protein
expression, RNA analysis, and expression of cloned genes
? Classic content: 10 original core chapters have been updated
to reflect developments and innovations in standard techniques and
to introduce new cutting-edge protocols
? Easy-to-follow format: the previous editions’ renowned attention
to detail and accuracy are fully retained
? Essential appendices: an up-to-date collection of reagents,
vectors, media, detection systems, and commonly used techniques are
included
? Expanded authorship: chapters and protocols have been
specifically commissioned from renowned experts at leading
institutions

JOSEPH SAMBROOK:
Sambrook was educated at the University of Liverpool BSc hons
1962 and obtained his PhD at the Australian National University in
1966. He did postdoctoral research at the MRC Laboratory of
Molecular Biology 1966-67 and the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies 1967-69. In 1969 he was hired by James D. Watson to work
at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. Watson has been
reported to say this was the best hiring decision he ever made. Joe
was responsible for creating a combative creative environment at
CSHL that fomented discovery. Subsequently he worked at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas.
Sambrook is best known for his studies on DNA tumor viruses and
the molecular biology of normal and neoplastic cells. His Tumour
Virus Group at Cold Spring Harbor identified and mapped all of the
major genes of adenoviruses and SV40, determined their
transcriptional control in infected and transformed cells, and
elucidated the mechanism of integration of these viruses into the
genome of the host cell.[citation needed] He has also made
important contributions to the understanding of intracellular
traffic and protein folding and is an influential leader in the
field of the molecular genetics of human cancer.
