Recent advances that allow scientists to quickly and accurately
sequence a genome have revolutionized our view of the structure and
function of genes as well as our understanding of evolution. A new
era of genetics is underway, one that allows us to fully embrace
Dobzhansky's famous statement that "Nothing in biology makes sense
except in the light of evolution". Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and
Evolution presents the fundamental principles of genetics and
molecular biology from an evolutionary perspective as informed by
genome analysis. By using what has been learned from the analyses
of bacterial and eukaryotic genomes as its basis, the book unites
evolution, genomics, and genetics in one narrative approach.
Genomic analysis is inherently both molecular and evolutionary, and
every chapter is approached from this unified perspective.
Similarly, genomic studies have provided a deeper appreciation of
the profound relationships between all organisms - something
reflected in the book's integrated discussion of bacterial and
eukaryotic evolution, genetics and genomics. It is an approach that
provides students with a uniquely flexible and contemporary view of
genetics, genomics, and evolution. Online Resource Centre: - Video
tutorials: a series of videos that provide deeper, step-by-step
explanations of a range of topics featured in the text. -
Flashcards: electronic flashcards covering the key terms from the
text. For registered adopters of the text: - Digital image library:

ready-made electronic testing resource that can be customized by
lecturers and delivered via their institution's virtual learning
environment. - Solutions to all questions featured in the book:
solutions written by the authors help make the grading of homework
assignments easier. - Journal Clubs: a series of questions that
guide your students through the reading and interpretation of a
research paper that relates to the subject matter of a given
chapter. Each Journal club includes model answers for lecturers. -
Instructor's guide: The instructor's guide discusses the
educational approach taken by Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and
Evolution in more detail, why this approach has been taken, what
benefits it offers, and how it can be adopted in your class.
