"This edition is packed with the lastest developments and information from the labs of current researchers--including the lastest findings from Genomics and RNA Interference."--Jacket
Principles of Genetics is one of the most popular texts in use for the introductory course. It opens a window on the rapidly advancing science of genetics by showing exactly how genetics is done. Throughout, the authors incorporate a human emphasis and highlight the role of geneticists to keep students interested and motivated. The seventh edition has been completely updated to reflect the latest developments in the field of genetics. Principles of Genetics continues to educate today’s students for tomorrows science by focusing on features that aid in content comprehension and application. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version.
High-quality illustrations with stepped-out art to help readers visualize complex processes. * Human genetics and the role of the geneticist highlighted throughout. * Two new features in each chapter: introductory "Key Questions" and closing "Basic Exercises."
The cover shows many facets of genetics. Top row, Left: The DNA double-helix, here imaged in a scanning tunneling micrograph, is central to all genetics research. Right: Experimentation has shown that some social behaviors, such as nest cleaning by honeybees, is under genetic control. Second row, Left: Inherited disorders such as albinism, manifested here in a bullfrog, have provided many insights about the genetic control of metabolism. Right: Gregor Mendel's 19th-century work with pea plants elucidated the basic principles of inheritance. Third row, Left: Efforts to combat HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, depend on knowing how the virus expresses its genes inside the cells of the immune sy...
Essential Microbiology 2nd Edition is a fully revised comprehensive introductory text aimed at students taking a first course in the subject. It provides an ideal entry into the world of microorganisms, considering all aspects of their biology (structure, metabolism, genetics), and illustrates the remarkable diversity of microbial life by devoting a chapter to each of the main taxonomic groupings. The second part of the book introduces the reader to aspects of applied microbiology, exploring the involvement of microorganisms in areas as diverse as food and drink production, genetic engineering, global recycling systems and infectious disease. Essential Microbiology explains the key points of...

Reflects the dynamic nature of modern genetics by emphasizing an experimental, inquiry-based approach. This text is useful for students who have had some background in biology and chemistry and who are interested in learning the central concepts of genetics.
With the first draft of the human genome project in the publicdomain and full analyses of model genomes now available, thesubject matter of 'Principles of Genome Analysis and Genomics' iseven 'hotter' now than when the first two editions were publishedin 1995 and 1998. In the new edition of this very practical guideto the different techniques and theory behind genomes and genomeanalysis, Sandy Primrose and new author Richard Twyman provide afresh look at this topic. In the light of recent excitingadvancements in the field, the authors have completely revised andrewritten many parts of the new edition with the addition of fivenew chapters. Aimed at upper level students, it is essential thatin this extremely fast moving topic area the text is up to date andrelevant. Completely revised new edition of an establishedtextbook. Features new chapters and examples from exciting new researchin genomics, including the human genome project. Excellent new co-author in Richard Twyman, also co-author ofthe new edition of hugely popular Principles of GeneManipulation.

Fundamentals and Techniques of Biophysics and Molecular Biology textbook has the primary goal to teach students about theoretical principles and applications of the key biophysical and molecular methods used in biochemistry and molecular biology. A substantial theoretical basis has been covered to understand key experimental techniques such as Chromatography, Electrophoresis, Spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, Centrifugation, Microscopy, Flow cytometry, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Immunotechniques, FRET and FRAP, Polymerase chain reaction, Phage display, Yeast two-hybrid assay, DNA sequencing, Biosensors, CRISPR/Cas systems so that students can make appropriate choices and efficient use of techniques. The most significant feature of this book is its clear, up-to-date and accurate explanations of mechanisms, rather than the mere description of facts and events. This book is published by Pathfinder Publication, New Delhi, India.
"Newly revised and extensively updated, the fifth edition of Mammalogy explains and clarifies the subject of mammalian biology as a unified whole, taking care to discuss the latest and most fascinating discoveries in the field. In recent years we witnessed significant changes in the taxonomy of mammals. The authors kept pace with such changes and revised each chapter to reflect the most current data and statistics available. New pedagogical elements, including chapter outlines, lists of key morphological characteristics, and further reading sections, help readers grasp the most important concepts and explore additional content on their own." --Book Jacket.
