Molecular and Genetic Research Protocols
Please note: You can contribute to many of these protocol collections. Suppliers, like NEB, usually have instructions and manuals for their products online, so check them out if you are using a specific product or kit.
| Biological Procedures
Online (University of Waterloo) http://sciborg.uwaterloo.ca/bpo/bpo.htm
|
This site is a fulltext, free-of-charge, peer reviewed electronic journal that publishes "new research techniques or novel adaptations of existing techniques...in all areas of the biological and medical sciences." Not many protocols at this time but they are adding new protocols regularly. |
| Cell and Molecular
Biology Online: Methods and Protocols http://www.cellbio.com/protocols.html |
Links to a variety of protocols (primarily those from specific research laboratories). Includes DNA and cell biology protocols, as well as those specifically for Drosophila, Saccharomyces, Caenorhabditis, and Xenopus. |
| Comprehensive Protocol
Collection- Ambros Lab http://www.dartmouth.edu/artsci/bio/ambros/protocols.html
|
Started as mainly C. elegans protocols but collection is growing. |
| Practical Approach
Online http://www.oup.co.uk/academic/science/ biochemistry/pas/online/ |
Pilot site containing protocols adapted from the Practical Approach Series books. Access will be free and unrestricted while the site is developed. |
| Practical Molecular
Biology http://molbiol.ru/eng/index.html |
Protocols section has a listing of recipes of salt solutions, laboratory buffers, media, antibiotics etc. Translated from Russian. |
| Protocol Online -
your lab's reference book http://www.protocol-online.org |
Concentrates on protocols in molecular biology, cell biology and immunology. The "Quick Access Table" organizes the protocols by discipline and topic and facilitates retrieval. BioList e-mail discussions and BioForum discussion groups are available and current. The site is keyword searchable. |
| iProtocol http://iprotocol.mit.edu/ |
iProtocol is a web-based protocol collection for the life science research community from MIT. It provides a searchable database of protocols submitted by researchers worldwide and. By aggregating scientists' expertise on research techniques, iProtocol attempts to provide the research community with unprecedented opportunities for collaboration. |
| Microarray Project
(National Human Genome Research Institute) http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/DIR/LCG/15K/HTML/ |
The site describes the Institute's Microarray Project, and links to downloadable protocols from their Laboratory of Cancer Genetics.The protocols represent the current technical approaches within the Laboratory of Cancer Genetics at NHGRI for RNA isolation and cDNA probe labeling. |
| Model Organism Databases
(Sanger Centre) http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Info/Links/modelorgs.shtml |
Links to a variety of model organism web sites, including those of Dictyostelium, Fugu, zebrafish, and several livestock genomes. Since the site comes from the Sanger Centre, many of the liks concentate on genome and genetics databases for these species. |
| Molecular Biology
Protocols (NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center) http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/protocols.html |
This site provides protocols on a variety of techniques, including DNS purificiation, DNA library preparation, Southern/Northern blotting, DNA sequencing, PCR, protein purification, etc. the site procides a "Techniques Forum" to which users can submit protocols or questions. |
| Nucleic Acids Research
Methods http://www3.oup.co.uk/nar/methods/ |
This resource is available only on the web. Articles are publsihed as "methods papers if an outstanding and potentially very useful advance is clearly documented." Although these papers are not published in the print NAR, they are fully citable, and are lised in the Table of Contents in the print version, denoted by a sequential number with the prefix 'e'. (Print subscriptions to NAR currently include online access to NAR and NARmethods). |
| Protocols for
Recombinant DNA Isolation, Cloning, and Sequencing. http://www.genome.ou.edu/protocol_book/protocol_index.html
|
A compilation of many of the everyday methods used in the average molecular biology laboratory, with emphasis on the techniques for large scale DNA sequencing protocols and DNA sequencing automation techniques. |
Lists of Protocol Sites
| BioMedNet Web Links http://links.bmn.com/browse | In 'Type of Resource' choose
'METHODS' Over 240 method sites on a very wide range of subjects - not just molecular biology |
| Laboratory Resources: Molecular
Biology Toolkit http://healthlinks.washington.edu/basic_sciences/molbio/ laboratory.html#Protocols and Methods |
The Molecular Biology Toolkit from the University of Washington is the best "library-sponsored" compilation of resources I've seen. The creator of the site, Stu Yarfitz, is a Ph.D. molecular biologist who works as the library's bioinformatics specialist. The "Laboratory Resources" section includes Yarfitz's favorite protocol and methods sites, reference tools and supply sites. The higher-level page links to a variety of bioinformatics tools (see below.) |
| WWW Virtual Library of Cell
Biology: Methods, Protocols and Software http://vi.bwh.harvard.edu/methods.shtml |
One of the many WWW virtual library sites, this one concentrates on methods, protocols, software and discussion groups for cellular and molecular biology. |
| WWW Virtual Library: Model
Organisms http://ceolas.org/VL/mo/ |
Links to diverse sites for model organisms other than those linked to by the Sanger Centre. Describes atrtributes of model organisms and why theya re used in research, and links to various general model organism resources as well as those for specific taxa. Includes links to NIH's reference site for model organisms (informationon resource sharing, funding opportunities, etc.). |
Molecular and Genetic Research Protocols: Print and CD Resources - Available in CSHL Library
| Current Protocols - print and CD | CSHL Library has Human Genetics and Molecular Biology in print ( last updated January 1999). Human Genetics, Immunology, Molecular Biology, and Neuroscience are on CD in the Main Library (basement study room - orange Mac).Please ask for help if you can't find what you need. Please see staff if you need Protien Science Current Protocols. |
| Methods in Molecular Biology, Methods in Molecular Medicine (some), Practical Approach Series | These three series cover molecular, genetic and cellular protocols. Each volume contains protocols for a particular disorder, organism, molecule, discipline or technique. Chapters are indexed in PubMed. Please ask for help if you can't find the volume you need. |
