An in-depth overview of the molecularstructures and mechanisms that underlie the utilization ofgenetic information by complex organisms. This excellent textemphasizes the experimental aspects of molecular genetics and isthe first text to offer a complete introduction to bothprinciples and methods.

Genes And Genomes

An outstanding group of scientists have collaborated in the collection of case studies that comprise this major text-reference book. It examines in detail how genes operate in diverse living systems, including viruses, cells and more complex organisms; investigates how genotypes can be altered; and looks at the mapping and sequencing of human and other genomes. Students and professionals in biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics will enjoy this book.

Exploring Genetic Mechanisms

Those of us who read a daily newspaper or scan a weekly magazine have grown accustomed to being told that the science of genetics influences countless aspects of our existence, from human development, health, and disease to the ecological balance of our planet. We accept this, and yet most of us have only the faintest idea of what a gene really is or how it functions. This book, then, is a primer on modern genetics, and its aim is to teach any interested general reader all he or she needs to know about how genes work - and about how a detailed knowledge of their workings can be applied to some of the most pressing problems of our time. Written by two world-renowned researchers in molecular biology and illustrated with uncommon clarity and precision, Dealing with Genes will satisfy the interest of general readers, including those who have little formal background in biology. It will also serve admirably as an authoritative text for students taking nonmajors courses in biology, genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology, and related disciplines.
