Review,
By David W (Lytham St.Annes, England United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Genetics: Principles and Analysis (Hardcover)
I hold a BSc Maths and Physics and MSc IT, and needed to understand genetics at a detailed level for a new business proposal in the field of bioinformatics and genetics. This book is so well written that was able to understand 90% of the text. New terms are highlighted in bold text and may be referenced in the extensive glossary. The glossary also indicates the page where the term is first described allowing the user to move freely throughout the book. There is also an excellent summary at the end of each chapter. I can recommend this book, have read 700 of the 800 pages and feel have understood nearly all the material! For info the book is composed of 17 chapters:The Molecular Basis of Heredity and Variation; Principles of Genetic transmission; Genes and chromosomes; Genetic linkage and chromosome mapping; The molecular structure and replication of the genetic material; The molecular organisation of chromosomes; Variation in chromosome number and structure; The genetics of bacteria and viruses; Genetic engineering and genetic analysis; Gene expression; Regulation of gene activity; The gentic control of development; Mutation, DNA repair, and recombination; Extranuclear inheritance; Population genetics and evolution; Quantitative genetics and multifactoral inheritance; Genetics of biorythms and behavior.

Nicely written, some VERY helpful diagrams,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genetics: Principles and Analysis (Hardcover)
Genetics is confusing. True or false? Genetics is quite enjoyable. True or false?The answer can be true to either question, depending on which book you use to learn genetics for the first time. Fortunately for me, our Biology department @BU chose Prof. Hartl's "Genetics." The book comes with nice diagrams to demonstrate certain concepts such as maternal effect and the Hardy Weinberg principle. Of course, this book isn't perfect; it could use some improvements. Chapter 12--especially the section on bicoid genes in drosophila--took a while to slog through. I suppose Prof. Hartl tried his best here, but this topic is confusing to begin with. It would have helped if pg 530-541 were rewritten. (I know that sounds very vague and fuzzy, but something about those pages just didn't click like other sections of the book). Even if your Bio department doesn't use this version of "Genetics," I would recommend treating it as a reference book. Good luck with genetics! Believe me, it CAN be fun and interesting.... -TheDeliman ps: To be honest, the GeNETics sections at the end of each chapter were quite useless. Readers won't read much if they were written out of the Fifth Edition.... :)

Good Textbook,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genetics: Principles and Analysis (Hardcover)
Unfortunately I sold this book during undergrad once my genetics course was over. Now at Medical School, I am rebuying it cause I know it works. Good explanations, pictures, ect. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a straight explanation...it's great if you are not a research based person.
