The protocol volumes that live in the lab rather than on the shelf — the ones every method section is checked against.
A thesis in a wet-lab department is written twice: once in the methods section and once in the notebook. These are the volumes that settle both — the cloning manual, the protocols series, the biochemistry techniques text and the instrumentation reference — and they are usually the department's copies rather than a scholar's own, which is exactly why the relevant chapters get printed and bound.
Two different needs are served by this shelf. Sambrook and Current Protocols live at the bench and are opened at the step being performed, never read continuously; the buffer recipes and reaction set-ups are what get photocopied and taped inside the lab notebook. Wilson and Walker, Freifelder and Skoog serve the other need - explaining the principle behind a technique well enough to answer instrumentation questions in CSIR Part C, in the coursework paper and in the viva. The flow cytometry and microscopy titles are bought only when the project actually uses those instruments, but then they get used hard.
Titles are tagged core reading — the ones scholars work right through — or reference, the ones they look things up in. Editions are given where the current edition is what you want to buy.

Every scholar completes coursework before the research phase proper begins, normally one semester, carrying a minimum of 12 credits. The compulsory content is research methodology - study design, sampling, quantitative and qualitative methods, and biostatistics - together with a Research and Publication Ethics course covering plagiarism, authorship, predatory publishing and citation practice. Medical institutes add subject-specific credits set by the department and, for clinical and community projects, sessions on institutional ethics committee submission, informed consent documentation and CTRI trial registration. A minimum of 55 per cent in the coursework is required before you can proceed, and the Research Advisory Committee can prescribe extra credits where a candidate is crossing disciplines, which is common when an MSc Nursing or MPT graduate joins a molecular laboratory. Candidates entering directly from a four-year bachelor's degree carry a heavier credit load than master's entrants. Thereafter you appear before the Research Advisory Committee each semester with a written progress report and a presentation, and the committee is the body that finalises the topic, approves the design and formally records progress.

The coursework is examined on research methodology and ethics. These are the volumes you start using once the protocol is approved and bench work begins.
Most scholars work from the department or institute copy and keep printed copies of the chapters covering their own techniques at the bench, which is the usual print job we see.
Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual remains the reference that method sections are checked against, alongside the Current Protocols series for newer techniques.
