	Electron Microscopy: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)
	By: John Kuo ISBN: 1588295737 Publisher: Humana Press Release Date: 27 February, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 246698	This book covers pretty much all of the modern techniques used in biological electron microscopy. It emphasizes the availability of many protocols for both Transmission and Scanning EM. Every chapter has a detailed protocol and a full list of accompanying references, in case the reader wants to know more about a specific topic/technique. <br /> <br />It is highly recommended for every student, lab tech, or researcher that wants to have an overview of the existing modern techniques or dare trying a new technique. It's format, with its 600+ pages is not very practical as a lab handbook, but the content information of strict high quality. <br /> <br />I have more than 10yrs of experience in biological cryo-EM, and I find this book a very useful addition to my ever growing collection.
	A History of Molecular Biology

	Linkage Disequilibrium and Association Mapping: Analysis and Applications (Methods in Molecular Biology)
	By: Andrew R. Collins ISBN: 1588296695 Publisher: Humana Press Release Date: 23 August, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 231065
	Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
	By: William H. Elliott, Daphne C. Elliott ISBN: 0199271992 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA Release Date: 03 February, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 768559	This is one of the most concise books I have ever seen on these subjects. Given the ambitious idea of introducing both these subjects in one text book, the authors have done an outstanding job. It is a no nonsense, clearcut book. Most of the necessary concepts are introduced to a decent depth required for appreciation of the subject. Perfect for beginners who don't want fat volumes. Great for preparing for competitive exams like the Subject GRE, especially for engineering or other non-bio students. One of my friends with no background in biology at all wanted to apply for graduate studies in a bio-related field, studied for the Subject test from this book, and cracked it. Authors has produced very clear introduction into the subject. It has somewhat conversational feeling to it as thgough you are in the class room. Authores indicate emphasis on areas that are critical to know and understand well. applications to Molecular biology is given in every opportunity. Book requires certain knowledge of Chemistry. Although most used concepts are repeated for clarification, still certain knowledge is assumed.Without good understanding of Organic Chemistry this book becames buch of diagrams with no meaning. Certainly a must read book paralel to Cell biology to understand the biochemistry going on in the cell. This book is well written. It is easy to understand and has great illustrations. I teach at the high school level and my students get along well with this book

	Unraveling DNA: Molecular Biology for the Laboratory
	By: Michael R. Winfrey, Marc A. Rott, Alan Wortman ISBN: 0132700344 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 01 February, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 662789	The material in the introductory text preceeding most of the exercizes lacks clarity, is poorly written and sadly confuses the reader. The introduction to the lux operon seems to be a very good example to illustrate the point. This book was made possible by a grant from the NSF and if the authors continue to market this book without revision it would be just be a travesty and an insult to intelligence. Please take note of the shortcomings of this book before decinding to buy it. One of the best lab texts around. Provides a thorough exposure to the most commonly used molecular laboratory techniques. Highly recommended for faculty, who focus on creating a hands-on learning environment. This is a wonderful text clear and concise, it explores the bulk of the basic lab techniques and procedures in molecular biology. This highly readable text builds on the cumulative experiences of some highly skilled academicians and researchers. Highly recommended for any molecular biology lab course or as a useful reference.
