Covering newsworthy aspects of contemporary biology -- gene
therapy, the Human Genome Project, DNA testing, and genetic
engineering -- as well as fundamental concepts, this book, written
specifically for nonbiologists, discusses classical and molecular
genetics, quantitative and population genetics -- including cloning
and genetic diseases -- and the many applications of genetics to
the world around us, from genetically modified foods to genetic
testing.
With minimal technical terminology and jargon, "Genes and DNA"
facilitates conceptual understanding. Eschewing the organization of
traditional genetics texts, the authors have provided an organic
progression of information: topics are introduced as needed, within
a broader framework that makes them meaningful for nonbiologists.
The book encourages the reader to think independently, always
stressing scientific background and current facts.
