Presented as a series of coordinated experiments that mimics either a one- or two-semester research experience, the book also provides theories and explanations behind the techniques. Topics include manipulation of recombinant DNA, protein expression and purification, analysis of mRNA levels, mammalian cell culture techniques, CRISPR-mediated gene knockdown, and more. New topics, such as Gibson assembly experiments, have also been included. For instructors, the book contains easy to follow guides and preparation lists, designed to facilitate lab setup and pre-lab questions for use as a teaching tool. Presents student-tested labs proven successful in real classroom laboratories Covers updated lab sessions that focus on silico methods Includes quizzes, discussion questions and further online resources for students, as well as lab preparation lists for instructor use Also includes updates such as Gibson assembly experiments and lab session flow charts for easier selection
