This is a great resource for the can-do teacher with a limited budget. For example, you don't need an electrophoresis set-up to carry out the DNA gel experiment because the detailed instructions are provided on how to build your own gel box and power supply. Interesting extensions are suggested at the end of each activity.
Safety is stressed throughout the book.
Detailed lists of all supplies required and where to buy specialized reagents and strains are included. Although some supporting content is included with the experiments, this book does not provide enough depth to be used as the primary source of genetics and molecular biology content for students.
