An introduction to genetic engineering

Аннотация

In this third edition of his popular undergraduate-level textbook, Desmond Nicholl recognises that a sound grasp of basic principles is vital in any introduction to genetic engineering. Therefore, as well as being thoroughly updated, the book also retains its focus on the fundamental principles used in gene manipulation. The text is divided into three sections: Part I provides an introduction to the relevant basic molecular biology; Part II, the methods used to manipulate genes; and Part III, applications of the technology. There is a new chapter devoted to the emerging importance of bioinformatics as a distinct discipline. Other additional features include text boxes, which highlight important aspects of topics discussed, and chapter summaries, which include aims and learning outcomes. These, along with key word listings, concept maps, and a glossary, will enable students to tailor their studies to suit their own learning styles and ultimately gain a firmgrasp on this subject that students traditionally find difficult.
