In Virto Fertilization IVF Third Edition - Brian Dale, Kay Elder







Review
Review of the previous edition: '... an excellent handbook for good IVF laboratory practice right down to a description of total quality management (TQM) systems ... concise, well written and should be mandatory reading for all potential and actual embryologists, as well as for those clinicians seeking a wider understanding of the subject.' Human Fertility
Review of the previous edition: 'The authors are masters of this work. Their views are up-to-date, practical, and well documented. This work will be of greatest interest to clinical practitioners of in vitro fertilization that want a relatively short and very precise overview of laboratory methods. It is highly recommended.' John E. Buster, Fertility and Sterility
Book Description
Fully updated with new practical techniques, this new edition describes the form and function of human gametes and embryos, and how this information is used in modern IVF practice. Packed with a wealth of practical and scientific detail, this popular guide is a must for all IVF students and practitioners.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Volume 1,2,3 by Joseph Sambrook, David William Russell

Book Description
The first two editions of this manual have been mainstays of molecular biology for nearly twenty years, with an unrivalled reputation for reliability, accuracy, and clarity.

In this new edition, authors Joe Sambrook and David Russell have completely updated the book, revising every protocol and adding a mass of new material, to broaden its scope and maintain its unbeatable value for studies in genetics, molecular cell biology, developmental biology, microbiology, neuroscience, and immunology.
Handsomely redesigned and presented in new bindings of proven durability, this three-volume work is essential for everyone using today’s biomolecular techniques.
The opening chapters describe essential techniques, some well-established, some new, that are used every day in the best laboratories for isolating, analyzing and cloning DNA molecules, both large and small.
These are followed by chapters on cDNA cloning and exon trapping, amplification of DNA, generation and use of nucleic acid probes, mutagenesis, and DNA sequencing.
The concluding chapters deal with methods to screen expression libraries, express cloned genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells, analyze transcripts and proteins, and detect protein-protein interactions.
The Appendix is a compendium of reagents, vectors, media, technical suppliers, kits, electronic resources and other essential information.
As in earlier editions, this is the only manual that explains how to achieve success in cloning and provides a wealth of information about why techniques work, how they were first developed, and how they have evolved.
