Preface
for humans and model organisms has profoundly affected the way in which biologists of every discipline now practice science. Exploration of the vast genomic landscape required the development of a great variety of new experimental techniques and approaches. Inevitably, venerable cloning manuals became outdated and established methods were rendered obsolete. These events provided the major impetus for a thorough revision of Molecular Cloning. In the first stages of Molecular Cloning 4 (MC4), we undertook an extensive review process to determine what old material should be kept, what new material should be added, and, most difficult of all, what material should be deleted. The names of the many scientists who contributed invaluable advice during the review process are listed on the following acknowledgments page. We are grateful to them all. It is of course impossible to include in any single laboratory manual all experimental methods used in molecular biology, and so choices, sometimes tough ones, had to be made. Individuals may disagree with some of our choices (and we suspect some will). However, our two guiding principles are as follows. First, Molecular Cloning is a nucleic acidcentric laboratory manual, and therefore in general we have not included methods that do not directly involve DNA or RNA. So, although MC4 contains a chapter on yeast two-hybrid procedures for analyzing proteinprotein interactions, we did not include the many other approaches for studying proteinprotein interactions that do not directly involve nucleic acids. Second, we have attempted to include as many as possible of those nucleic acidbased methods that are widely used in molecular and cellular biology laboratories with the hope in the John Lockean sense that we do the greatest good for the most people. The harder task for us was to decide which material to delete. However, our task was made somewhat easier by the agreement of our publisher, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, to make these older methods freely available on the Cold Spring Harbor Protocols website (www.cshprotocols.org). The explosion of new experimental approaches has made it impractical, if not impossible, for any single person (or even two) to write with authority on all the relevant experimental methods. As a result, a major departure from previous editions of Molecular Cloning was the commissioning of experts in the field to write specific chapters and to contribute specific protocols. Without the enthusiastic participation of these scientists, MC4 simply would not exist. Since the last edition of Molecular Cloning, there has been a relentless and continuing proliferation of commercial kits, which is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, kits offer tremendous convenience, particularly for procedures that are not routinely used in an individual laboratory. On the other hand, kits can often be too convenient, enabling users to perform procedures without understanding the underlying principles of the method. Where possible, we have attempted to deal with this dilemma by providing lists of commercially available kits and also describing how they work. There are many people who played essential roles in the production of MC4 and whom we gratefully acknowledge. Ann Boyle was instrumental in getting MC4 off the ground and played a critical organizational role during the early stages of the project. Subsequently, her responsibilities were taken over by the able assistance of Alex Gann. Sara Deibler contributed at all stages of

MC4 in many ways, but in particular in assisting with writing, editing, and proofreading. Monica Salani made substantial contributions to the content and writing of Chapter 9. We are especially grateful for the enthusiastic support, extraordinary cooperation, and tolerance of the staff of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Pressin particular Jan Argentine, who managed the entire project and kept a close eye on its finances; Maryliz Dickerson, our project manager; our developmental editors Kaaren Janssen, Judy Cuddihy, and Michael Zierler; Denise Weiss, the Production Manager; our production editor, Kathleen Bubbeo; and, of course, John Inglis, the minence grise of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. e MICHAEL R.
