 Molecular
Biology
made
simple and fun
3rd Edition
by David Clark and Lonnie Russell
The molecular revolution is upon us! For those who expect
to be part of what's happening in the 21st century, the impact
of molecular genetics research should not be underestimated.
The authors present a simple and fun approach to the topic
of molecular biology.
Written primarily for the science student, but suitable for
the non-scientist, the reader will gain a solid understanding
of the fundamentals and tools of molecular biology. The book
also details how this rapidly advancing field has and will
continue to have an impact on health, law, agriculture, biotechnology
and our understanding of the origins of the species.
Highlights include:
- Basic genetics
- DNA and RNA
- Gene transfer
- Cloning
- PCR
- Forensics
- Biotechnology
- Transgenic animals and plants
- Mutations
- Cancer
- Viruses
- Disease and immunity
- Jumping genes
- Junk DNA
- Molecular evolution
- Understanding a seminar
in molecular biology
- Obesity
- Chemistry Basics
The third edition includes three new chapters and thirty
new illustrations. New topics include the latest information
regarding RNA and a chemistry review section.
