Product Description

Product Description

For courses in Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, and Gene Regulation.

Two decades ago Benjamin Lewin's Genes revolutionized the teaching of molecular biology and molecular genetics by introducing a unified approach to bacteria and higher organisms. Genes has remained at the cutting edge of molecular biology, covering gene structure, organization, and expression.

Originally the text opened with the genetic code and worked toward genome structure. Genes VIII changed the approach to begin with the sequence of the human and other genomes and starts with complete coverage of recent advances in genomics. The coverage of genomics is then integrated throughout the text.

In striving to maintain currency, the new edition has updated coverage on genome organization, DNA replication, gene regulation and many other new topics.



From the Back Cover

Two decades ago Benjamin Lewin's Genes revolutionized the way we think about and teach molecular biology and molecular genetics. His approach unified the discipline by providing an integrated account of the structure and function of genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Setting a standard for currency, Genes continually embraces emerging trends in this field, such as introducing the molecular aspect of the gene before the traditional analysis of formal genetics. Genes VIII continues to innovate; expanding the early discussion of the genome and integrating new information on gene sequencing throughout the text.

New Content
  • Human and mouse genome sequence data incorporated throughout
  • Integrated coverage of recent advances in genomics and gene organization
Updated Content
  • DNA replication, repair, and recombination
  • Transcription and translation
  • Cancer and signal transduction

Genes VIII includes access to an innovative Website featuring a complete E-book with Flash illustrations. The text will be continuously updated online, providing coverage of the most recent advances in the field. Links to primary research articles are available whenever possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genes VIII- good but the diagrams are a bit weedy, 11 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This book is essential reading for anyone doing a genetics related degree, as I am. The book is well written with well defined and organised chapters, with a good summary of the following text in each of the sections. The book covers much of the important content in the field including some basics, but it quickly progresses on to more advanced stuff. I found it particularly useful for looking at gene control and translation. However, the diagrams in the book are not of the best standard. Although usable they are just that bit too small and not quite clear or obvious enough sometimes. If you can cope with this small criticism, then I'd recommend the book to anyone with an interest in developing their knowledge of genetics.
