Abstract: 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 Mol

Numerous transposed sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I-II in aphids of the genus Sitobion (Hemiptera: Aphididae).
Paul Sunnucks,Dinah F. Hales +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a proportion of the inferred change in the nonmitochondrial sequences occurred before transposition, and that Sitobion aphids (and other species exhibiting mtDNA transposition) may be important for studying the molecular evolution of mtDNA and pseudogenes.

Detection of Staphylococcus aureus by polymerase chain reaction amplification of the nuc gene.
TL;DR: The PCR for amplification of the nuc gene has potential for the rapid diagnosis of S. aureus infections by direct testing of clinical specimens, including specimens from patients with ongoing antimicrobial therapy.

Two classes of short interfering RNA in RNA silencing
TL;DR: It is shown that siRNAs produced in plants from a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene are in short and long size classes, whereas those from endogenous retroelements are only in the long class, revealing an unexpected level of complexity in the RNA silencing pathway in plants that may also apply in animals.

DD3::A New Prostate-specific Gene, Highly Overexpressed in Prostate Cancer
Marion J.G. Bussemakers,A. van Bokhoven,Gerald W. Verhaegh,Frank Smit,H.F.M. Karthaus,Jack A. Schalken,Frans M.J. Debruyne,Ning Ru,William B. Isaacs +8 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that DD3 is one of the most prostate cancer-specific genes yet described, and this makes DD3 a promising marker for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer and provides a powerful tool for the development of new treatment strategies for prostate cancer patients.

Promoter of the mouse gene encoding calcium-independent nitric oxide synthase confers inducibility by interferon gamma and bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
TL;DR: In this article, a 1,749-bp fragment from the 5'-flanking region of the iNOS gene was cloned from a mouse genomic library, and used S1 nuclease mapping and primer extension to identify the mRNA transcription start site within it.
