Description

This is written for students of molecular genetics and molecular biology and as the first volume in this series, sets the scene by introducing aspects that provide the scientific backround for the major technical advances of genetic engineering. Central topics such as replication, mapping, mutation, transposition and both general and site-specific recombination are fully documented. Throughout the text the emphasis is on the understanding of experimental data and each chapter concludes with self-assessment questions and suggestions for further reading, both of which are key features of all the books in the series. The author works at one of the few departments of genetics in the UK. His special research interests are bacterial genetics and the study of unitable genes.
