Book Description

Genetics: From Genes to Genomes is a cutting-edge, introductory genetics text authored by an unparalleled author team, including Nobel Prize winner, Leland Hartwell. The Third Edition continues to build upon the integration of Mendelian and molecular principles, providing students with the links between early genetics understanding and the new molecular discoveries that have changed the way the field of genetics is viewed.

Not for the uninitiated.......2007-07-07

This is a good book if you already have a foundation in genetics. Oddly, the book is marketed as your basic undergrad genetics text. Yet instead of just explaining the concepts, it leads you on the path of discovery of how researchers figured all this stuff out. If you are still learning the subject, you may do better with Klug/Cummings/Spencer. If you are going into higher levels of biology and want to learn some research methods, this is a good book.

Great figures to go with the text. Not a quick read, but it is a great genetics resource.

Genetics: From Genes to Genomes.......2005-02-07

I found this book extremely verbose and unorganized. It would serve as a great reference book for a lab researcher or grad student. But it's way too technical and dense for an introductory genetics class. The authors do a poor job presenting the material in a comprehensible way to an undergraduate genetics student. Not recommended.

Great general Genetics textbook.......2004-12-12

I think this is a great text book for General Genetics class! In fact, this is the text we have been using at UC Berkeley.
The authors are not only clear & concise in delivering their topics, but also able to formulate challenging questions to test students' undestanding.

Genetics concepts well understood.......2003-09-14

Excellent book that goes in depth to the science of genetics.

Amazon offers this study guide along with the text book as a package deal. However, the text book is the 3rd edition and the study guide is the 2nd edition, rendering it pretty much useless to my daughter. Please review this closer than my daughter did! I beleive that this is an Amazon issue more so than the fault of the publisher.

Be Cautious of Edition.......2007-09-03

I purchased this study guide to go with the Thrid Edition of the textbook, as shown with the text book. when i recieved it, i realized that it is the second edtion and is not compatable with the third edition. just be careful of what edition you need it for.

I wonder why this was even published.......2006-09-29

This has got to be the worst solution manual I've encountered. My edition is copyrighted in 2004, and it still seems like it is a very rough draft. Although some of the solutions come out to be quite clear, for every one of those there is at least one that either solves the problem with unnecessary complexity or is downright wrong. This causes a lot of confusion and self-doubt for the student. Errors of this type and frequency are tolerable if they come from one's mentor, but when the solution manual comes from a publisher with such reknown as McGraw-Hill, I would expect it to be thoroughly edited and proofread. I would definitely not recommend this item unless they have a revised edition published. In the meantime, one would be much better off asking his or her professor or TA for the solutions, and discussing with them as necessary.

Wanna get an A in Genetics?.......2001-01-27

Although this solution guide has a few mistakes, it helped me tremendously in Genetics. I got an A only because I had the answer and explanation to EVERY question in the textbook. It gave me a clear understanding of the basic concepts and it had plenty of diagrams. Barely anyone in my class had the solutions manual, so I felt like I had an advantage over everybody...and I found out I was right when I got my report card! :-)

Book Description

Rapid advances in our understanding of genetics have required that new books contain topics such as the concept and theory of gene cloning, transgenics, genomics, and various other coverage of traditional and contemporary subjects.

Although there is an abundance of textbooks that cover introductory genetics and advanced courses in genetics, there is a noticeable gap at the intermediate (second year) level. In the past gene structure, function and expression were taught at final year /postgraduate level, but the rapid advances in our understanding of genetics has encouraged courses to change considerably. Over recent years these topics have filtered down the curriculum and are currently taught as core topics at second year, with a corresponding change in textbook requirements. Where once second year students were restricted to learning about the concept and theory of gene cloning, now they routinely clone genes for themselves as part of their practical assignments.

Genes to Genomics will fill the gap, cover much of the same ground as previous titles, but go further on contemporary topics like transgenics, sequence comparison and analysis of variation.

A concise, up to date textbook that provides a balanced coverage of traditional and contemporary topics taught within intermediate courses in molecular genetics
Jeremy Dale has a proven track record as the successful author of Molecular Genetics of Bacteria
Genes to Genomics will include a series of feature box-outs that will examine some of the topical issues related to the scientific concepts and examples explored within the text
A range of questions and exercises including worked examples and web-based practicals
An accompanying web site will allow the authors to keep their audience up to date in the areas that are prone to date most rapidly between successive editions of the textbook. It will also include the illustrations and images from the textbook, in addition to worked examples, answers to questions within the book, and links to related websites of key interest.

Book Description

This book explains the role of simple biological model systems in the growth of molecular biology. Essentially the whole history of molecular biology is presented here, tracing the work in bacteriophages in E. coli, the role of other prokaryotic systems, and also the protozoan and algal models - Paramecium and Chlamydomonas, primarily - and the move into eukaryotes with the fungal systems - Neurospora, Aspergillus and yeast. Each model was selected for its appropriateness for asking a given class of questions, and each spawned its own community of investigators. Some individuals made the transition to a new model over time, and remnant communities of investigators continue to pursue questions in all these models, as the cutting edge of molecular biological research flowed onward from model to model, and onward into higher organisms and, ultimately, mouse and man.

The explanation of biological problems and the easy flow of prose make the book very absorbing.......2005-10-24

The Microbial Models of Molecular Biology, From Genes to Genomes. Rowland H. Davis, Oxford University Press, 2003.

Despite the amazing diversity, most agree that when reduced to the level of cells and molecules, all living things, including plants, animals and microbes, are basically the same. In the quest to understand complex biological phenomena such as the control of cell division, organelle assembly and their inheritance, development, behavior, aging and death of organisms, or the process of speciation, scientists have turned to microbes. This seems quite sensible to do, for microbes can be grown cheaply in test tubes or flasks occupying small space, subjected to all kinds of environmental stresses, and the results of researchers distributed in different geographical locations compared and inferences drawn. Whenever a microbe is found displaying a phenomenon similar to that in a higher organism, it is chosen for research. In this book Rowland H. Davis demonstrates how life processes, notwithstanding their complexity, are being unraveled by investigations of microbial models. And he does so very admirably, for he has witnessed some important players in major research centers, listened to them when fresh findings were made in the last century during which time more of biology was being learnt than in all the previous years. Thus this book gives not only the scientific facts but also the controversies surrounding them. Davis makes the history of biology come alive by recounting personalities of some of its players. The explanation of biological problems and the easy flow of prose make the book very absorbing. The size of the book makes it easy to carry it and read it wherever and whenever. - Ramesh Maheshwari, Bangalore, India.
