Welcome to Mama Ji's Molecular Kitchen!
There are lots of sites out there full of molecular techniques and protocols, but very little information (either online or in readable hardcopy form) that explain how and why these techniques work. That's where this site comes in.
I've written in simple terms about a number of commonly used molecular techniques, explaining what they are and how they work. So bookmark this site and read it the next time a professor or colleague describes something in technical jargon you can't understand, or when a high-profile court trial makes molecular sciences an interest to the general public.
