Current Protocols

Current Protocols is a series of laboratory manuals for life scientists. The first title, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, was established in 1987 by Frederick M. Ausubel, Roger Brent, Robert Kingston, David Moore, Jon Seidman, Kevin Struhl, and John A. Smith of the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Molecular Biology. Since then, the Current Protocols series has continued to introduce additional titles. Scientists contribute methods which are peer-reviewed by one of 18 editorial boards. The core content of each title is updated, and new material is added, on a quarterly basis. In 2009, the Current Protocols website was launched. The site features online versions of all of the texts, research tools, video protocols, and a blog.
