Description
This 8th edition offers students a detailed coverage of genetics, with an emphasis on applications. Recent techniques such as gene cloning and southern, western and northern plot analyses of genes and gene products are described. Rather than simply treating the somewhat esoteric principles of genetics in abstraction, the book stresses actual and potential future applications of the principles discussed, particularly in agriculture and medicine.
