Protocols
- Current Protocols in Molecular Biology OnlineCurrent Protocols in Molecular Biology (CPMB), the first in the Current Protocols family of laboratory manuals, is the international standard by which all other laboratory manuals are judged.
- Current Protocols in Cell Biology OnlineCurrent Protocols in Cell Biology provides methods for basic culture and fractionation of cells; microscopic localization and tracking; and analysis of biosynthesis, modification, and transport of specific molecules.
- Current Protocols in BioinformaticsCurrent Protocols in Bioinformatics covers Using Biological Databases, Recognizing Functional Domains, Finding Similarities and Inferring Homologies, Annotating Genes, Modeling Structure from Sequence, Inferring Evolutionary Relationships, Analyzing Expression Patterns, Analyzing Molecular Interactions, Comparing Genomes, Assembling and Mapping Large Sequence Sets, Analyzing RNA Sequence and Structure, Using Proteomics Techniques, Cheminformatics and Metabolomics, Understanding Genome Variation Pathway Analysis
- Current Protocols in Cytometry OnlineCurrent Protocols in Cytometry (CPC), published in affiliation with the International Society for Analytical Cytology, features carefully edited flow and image cytometry methods provided by leading laboratories from around the world.
- Current Protocols in Immunology OnlineCurrent Protocols in Immunology provides comprehensive coverage of immunological methods, including antibody detection and preparation, assays for functional activities of mouse and human cells involved in immune responses, assays for cytokines and their receptors, isolation and analysis of proteins and peptides, biochemistry of cell activation, molecular immunology, and animal models of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
- Current Protocols in Protein Science OnlineCurrent Protocols in Protein Science covers both basic and advanced methods used in protein purification, characterization, and analysis as well as post-translational modification and structural analysis. More than 800 basic, support and alternate protocols have been carefully chosen for maximum applicability.
- Current Protocols in MicrobiologyCurrent Protocols in Microbiology Provides clear methodologies for research in priority areas such as biodefense, emerging and neglected infectious diseases, microbe-host interactions, and host defense.
- Current Protocols in NeuroscienceCurrent Protocols in Neuroscience draws from techniques in molecular neurobiology, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and behavioral neuroscience to meet the specific needs of researchers in the full range of disciplines that is involved in studying the brain, nervous system, and corresponding behaviors.
- Methods in EnzymologyMethods in Enzymology is a series of scientific publications focused primarily on research methods in biochemistry.
- Nature ProtocolsNature Protocols is an online journal of laboratory protocols for bench researchers. Protocols are presented in a 'recipe' style providing step-by-step descriptions of procedures, which users can take to the lab and immediately apply in their own research.
- Nature MethodsNature Methods is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering new scientific techniques.
Free and Open Source Protocol Sites
Plant Methods is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences.
Bio-protocol was founded by Stanford researchers in 2010, seeks to promote free and open communication within the life sciences community. To this end, all protocols are associated with a moderated Q&A panel. These Q&A panels help readers successfully reproduce protocols by letting them easily ask authors clarifying questions.
Protocol exchange The Protocol Exchange is an open resource where the community of scientists pool their experimental know-how to help accelerate research.
Cold Harbor Springs Access to CHS's free protocols. We do not have a subscription to the entire CHSP.
Springer Protocols Access to SP's free protocols. We do not have a subscription to the entire SP.
