Genetics today is inexorably focused on DNA. The theme of
Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach is therefore the
progression from molecules (DNA and genes) to processes (gene
expression and DNA replication) to systems (cells, organisms and
populations). This progression reflects both the basic logic of
life and the way in which modern biological research is structured.
The molecular approach is particularly suitable for the large
number of students for whom genetics is a part of a broader program
in biology, biochemistry, the biomedical sciences, and
biotechnology.
Introduction to Genetics presents the basic facts and concepts
with enough depth of knowledge to stimulate students to move on to
more advanced aspects of the subject. The book is divided into
three parts. Part 1 examines the function of the gene as a unit of
biological information. Part 2 studies the role of the gene as a
unit of inheritance. And Part 3 explores some of the areas of
research that are responsible for the high profile that genetics
has in our modern world, from agriculture and industry to medicine
and forensics, and the ethical challenges that genetic knowledge
imparts.
Introduction to Genetics is available for purchase as an e-book
in its entirety or as individual chapters, and as a 1-year or
6-month rental.
