I have used the following: Maniatis, et al. _Handbook of Mol. Cloning_ Perbal _Practical Guide to Mol. Cloning_ Ausubel, et al., ed. _Current Protocols in Mol. Bio._ Davis, et al. _Basic Methods in Mol. Bio._ Berger & Kimmel, ed. _Methods in Enzymology_, vol. 152 Promega Corp. _Protocols and Applications_ I find that none of these is a definitive reference for everything I do. The _Methods in Enzymology_ seems to be the best of the bunch, but I still don't like some of the things I see in it. Is there anyone out there who has found a single book that's got it's crap together on _all_ of its protocols? I'd appreciate the ref.
