This book is unique in that it takes a molecular first approach. It starts with DNA and moves through the genetic expression at the molecular level before turning to the more traditional Mendelian and Neomendelian transmission genetics. This book emphasizes what the reader should come to understand, not simply memorize. In addition to topics traditionally covered in genetics, this book provides cutting edge information on Bioinformatics and Proteomics, as well as a chapter on advanced topics in Molecular Genetics.

A shorter and more basic textbook that the more comprehensive companion Concepts of Genetics . More manageable in a one- quarter or one-semester course, and more accessible to students with less background in biology and chemistry, including early biology majors but also majors in such areas as agriculture, forestry, wildlife management, chemistry, and psychology. Emphasizes the methods by which information is gathered and interpreted in the field, and concepts rather than details. Includes colorful illustrations throughout and a glossary without pronunciation indicated. Published in 1993 by Macmillan and in 1996 by Prentice-Hall.

Essentials of Genetics

PRENTICE/HALL

This book is known for its clear writing style, emphasis on concepts, visual art program and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics. All chapters have been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest changes in the field. Some examples include: Genomics, a new unit has been added focusing on this important top topic; Population Genetics and Evolution, coverage now includes a more phylogenetic approach. For anyone in biology, zoology, agriculture or health science who are interested in genetics.

Concepts of Genetics (6th Edition)

Evolution

Pearson College Div

Presents a succinct overview of the discipline, with balanced coverage of both classical and modern genetics. Known for their clear writing style, emphasis on concepts, visual art program, and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics, the authors capture interest with up-to-date coverage of cutting edge topics and research. This book will help readers connect the science of genetics to the issues of today through interesting and thought provoking applications. Revision features 3 new chapters: Chapter 5, Sex Determination and Sex Chromosomes, Chapter 18, Genomics and Proteomics, and Chapter 24, Conservation Genetics—Genenomics and Proteomics put this book at the cutting edge of a rapidly moving field. The Conservation Genetics chapter is the first really new chapter that has appeared in any genetics book over the past decade. The Population Genetics and Evolutionary Genetics chapters are updated and significantly enriched by Jon Herron (co-author of Evolutionary Analysis, 2/e). The Technology and Society Essays include numerous revisions and several new topics—Genetically Modified Foods is addressed with a new essay in Chapter 1; new essay in Chapter 18 addresses Gene Therapy in the context of Genomics; there are two short boxes that represent “molecular snippets” in the transmission genetic chapters (3 and 5); and new section on molecular genetics in Chapter 1. Two biotechnology chapters cover technologies and analysis, and applications and ethics. Human behavior genetics includes recent findings on genes controlling manic depression (Chapter 20). Up-to-date coverage of contemporary topics includes ethical questions raised by genetic testing and the human genome project. It will appeal to evolutionarily-oriented professionals in the biological sciences, zoology, agriculture, and health science fields.

Essentials of Genetics (4th Edition)

This book is known for its clear writing style, emphasis on concepts, visual art program and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics. The authors capture readers' interest with up-to-date coverage of cutting-edge topics and research. The authors emphasize those concepts that readers should come to understand and take away with them, not a myriad of details and exceptions that need to memorized and are soon forgotten. In addition to topics traditionally covered in genetics, this book has increased coverage of genomics, including proteomics and bioinformatics, biotechnology, and contains more real-world problems. For anyone in biology, agriculture or health science who is interested in genetics.
