A broad collection of college-level experiments that provides students with a hands-on understanding of biotechnology and molecular biology, including applications and practical uses. * Includes suggested reading, laboratory language, and analysis questions that help direct student thinking. * Sidebar comments offer special hints and detailed information to ensure success but keep the protocols themselves easy to follow. * Comprehensive laboratory safety guidelines are also included. The experiments, organized into fundamental laboratory activities and applications of these protocols, can be adapted to fit the time frame of a one- or two-semester laboratory course.
