Understanding DNA and Gene Cloning : A Guide for the Curious

Rating:
Summary: A good replacement for a MolCell text
Review: For someone who already went through a college-level molecular biology course, Drlica's book is an especially good refresher. The book also goes into good detail on various protocols used by biochemical and mol/cell labs today.

Summary: Excellent introduction for non-specialists
Review: This is the book that we ask all new undergraduates, time-slip students, high school students, and technicians to read before they start work in our lab. It is also the book I recommend to non-specialists like my father who want to know what I am doing. It is an excellent introduction.
