 * We split up into research groups:
 * This is for the ecoli group and whomever else may need it. From my email with the Dr. Golding:
 * ''In my view, the best two sources for protocols are the following. They both offer not just the protocols,

1) "Current Protocols in Molecular Biology" http://mrw.interscience.wiley.com/emrw/9780471142720/home/

Full text available for UIUC, I believe. A paper version exists as well.

See e.g. Chapters 1,2,3 & 13.

2) "Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual" By Joseph Sambrook et al. 3-volume set. Perhaps also available online (Google books?); used paper copies available online.

All the best,
