Written and illustrated with unsurpassed clarity, Molecular
Biology: Principles and Practice introduces fundamental concepts
while exposing students to how science is done. The authors convey
the sense of joy and excitement that comes from scientific
discovery, highlighting the work of researchers who have shaped-and
who continue to shape-the field today. The second edition addresses
recent discoveries and advances, corresponding to our ever-changing
understanding of molecular biology. There are numerous new figures
and photos, along with significantly updated figures in every
chapter. There are also new end-of-chapter questions for every
chapter and many new Unanswered Questions. This textbook is
available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook
with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment

'The most important advance of our era. One of the pioneers of the
field describes the exciting hunt for the key breakthrough and what
it portends for our future' Walter Isaacson World-famous scientist
Jennifer Doudna - winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
creating the revolutionary gene-editing technique CRISPR - explains
her discovery, describes its power to reshape the future of all
life and warns of its use. A handful of discoveries have changed
the course of human history. This book is about the most recent and
potentially the most powerful and dangerous of them all. It is an
invention that allows us to rewrite the genetic code that shapes
and controls all living beings. As a result, dreams of genetic
manipulation have become a stark reality: the power to cure disease
and alleviate suffering, as well as to re-design any species,
including humans, for our own ends. Jennifer Doudna is the
co-inventor of this technology - known as CRISPR - and a scientist
of worldwide renown. Writing with fellow researcher Samuel
Sternberg, here she provides the definitive account of her
discovery, explaining how this wondrous invention works and what it
is capable of. She also asks us to consider what our new-found
power means: how do we enjoy its unprecedented benefits while
avoiding its equally unprecedented dangers? _________________
