Most research in the life sciences involves a core set of molecular-based equipment and methods, for which there is no shortage of step-by-step protocols. Nonetheless, there remains an exceedingly high number of inquiries placed to commercial technical support groups, especially regarding problems. Molecular Biology Problem Solver: A Laboratory Guide asks the reader to consider crucial questions, such as: <ul> <li>Have you selected the most appropriate research strategy? <li>Have you identified the issues critical to your successful application of a technique? <li>Are you familiar with the limitations of a given technique? <li>When should common procedural rules of thumb not be applied? <li>What strategies could you apply to resolve a problem? </ul> A unique question-based format reviews common assumptions and laboratory practices, with the aim of offering a firm understanding of how techniques and procedures work, as well as how to avoid problems. Some major issues explored by the book's expert contributors include: <ul> <li>Working safely with biological samples and radioactive materials <li>DNA and RNA purification <li>PCR <li>Protein and nucleid acid hybridization <li>Prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems <li>Properly using and maintaining laboratory equipment </ul>
