CSH says the "joy of cloning" (maniatis) should be updated soon.  But they
have been saying that since I worked there.  There is a lab manual
on  gene fusion experiments that is also published by CSH.  I believe
it is tom silhavy et al. (it has a drawing of a chimera on the cover).
I also just got a flier for a new manual called "current protocols in molecular
biology" published by John Wiley and sons.  The editors are Fred Ausubel
et al.  The publishers claim they will publish updates and additions every 3
months.  I have no idea if it is any good.
Has anybody seen it?
