PROTOCOLS 
  • Protocols-MolBiol-NWFSC  Molecular Biology Protocols from NWFSC: DNA purification techniques, DNA transformation/library preparation, Southern/Northern blotting, DNA sequencing, oligonucleotides, PCR and related methods, RNA methods, protein electrophoresis and purification, autoradiography tips, safety, and links.
  • CPC-MB Protocols  Comprehensive Protocol Collection in Molecular Biology from Dartmouth: RNA, DNA, Proteins
  • IUBio Archive  Indiana University Bio Archive  for Biology data and software. This is an archive of biology data and software, established in 1989 to promote public access to freely available information, primarily in the field of molecular biology.
  • Protocols-metazoa  Protocol Library from metazoa.com: all fields of Biology and Medicine
  • iProtocol, a free service to publicize research protocols used in bioscience
  • highveld -- Molecular Bioloogy Protocols
  • SAGE  Serial Analysis of Gene Expression
  • Gene Expression in E. coli. Some guidelines for successful gene expression in E. coli including an overview of the many factors that can influence gene expression such as codon usage, expression vectors, choice of cellular compartment, translocation and folding competence, proteases, and manipulation of translation efficiency. 
  • HisologicalProtocols
MICROSCOPY
PCR
  • primer design
    • CODEHOP-PCR primer design  COnsensus-DEgenerate Hybrid Oligonucleotide Primers. PCR primers designed from protein multiple sequence alignments
    • Primer3 picks primers from a DNA sequence for PCR reactions, considering as criteria: oligonucleotide melting temperature, size, GC content, and primer-dimer possibilities, PCR product size, positional constraints within the source sequence, and miscellaneous other constraints.
    • GeneFisher, an Interactive PCR Primer Design Tool.
    • xprimer is a tool for selection of PCR primers. It is designed for selection of sets of primers along very large queries, all with a relatively narrow Tm range. It is also useful in more traditional PCR applications.
      • program has two interfaces:
        • rawprimer, produces no graphics. It is set up to use human and dog repeat files and several species models
        • webprimers, a second version produces maps of the primer locations and the locations of repeated elements of various types
         
  • primer design for site-directed mutagenesis:
    • Primer Generator is an automated generator of primers for site-directed mutagenesis. The program analyzes the original nucleotide sequence and desired amino acid sequence and designs a primer that either has a new restriction enzyme site or is missing an old one. This allows for faster sorting out of mutated and non-mutated sequences.
  • primer analysis/evaluation and calculators:
    • Oligo Calculator @ Molecular Biology Core Facilities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
    • Primer3 picks primers from a DNA sequence. Whitehead Institute, MIT
    Amplify  is a Macintosh program for simulating and testing polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). It can also be used as a tool for designing primers by evaluating candidates.
MICROARRAYS
  • MicroarrayP@NHGRI  Links from the µAP: Laboratories, Companies, Meetings
  • NHGRI  Protocols provided by the Laboratory of Cancer Genetics at NHGRI for RNA isolation and cDNA probe labeling, in downloadable formats.
  • MGuide Version 2.0 by the P. Brown's  Lab. A complete guide to microarraying for the molecular biologist: protocols, software, etc, and Microarray Forum
  • IBD Mapping  Microarray Protocols as a part of the Direct Identical-by-Descent (IBD) Mapping project at V. Cheung's Lab, UPenn
  • SMD  Stanford Microarray Database stores raw and normalized data from microarray experiments, as well as their corresponding image files. In addition, SMD provides interfaces for data retrieval, analysis and visualization. Data is released to the public at the researcher's discretion or upon publication. The site has a page with Software & Tools resources.
