Thread: Where to start reading Molecular Biology?

Hi,guys I have a huge interest in Molecular Biology and I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend me any books in Molecular Biology for a beginner(Techniques,basics,Manipulating dna..etc..etc)? I'm particularly interested in Molecular Biology with a emphasis on genetics.I'd like to read up on some of the material as I start school in spring.

I don´t know if it is free, but this one is good:
Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNA - Bernard Glick - Jack Pasternak


Also, you can find material about genetic engineering in molecular biology books, such as

Molecular Biology of the cell by Alberts
Molecular cell biology by Lodish (Though this one is more complex)
The cell: a molecular approach by Cooper

The last three you can find them here: molecular biology - Books - NCBI

Thank you I great fully appreciate the information you have bestowed upon me M_Gabriela
