Hi. I am an undergraduate molecular biology major at a university. I work in a 
research laboratory, and we have been cloning for 2 years. The cloning 
involves ligation, transformation into competent cells, and choosing white 
colonies from LB plates. Recently I have heard about subcloning and can not 
understand from a dictionary/encyclopedia if subcloning is what I do in the 
lab, or if what I do is molecular cloning. What is the difference?
