Genomes

Genomes Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Responding to the immense changes due to recent development in research, "Genomes" is the first in a generation of molecular genetics books which combine standard molecular biology with more contemporary genomics. This book focuses on genome organization, expression, replication, and evolution, and includes a description of applications for molecular ecology and anthropology, reflecting the impact of genome biology on other fields of study.

Book News Annotation:

In the belief that courses on molecular biology should reflect the major research issues on the millennial horizon rather than those of the past decades, Brown (biomolecular sciences, U. of Manchester, England) offers an undergraduate textbook that focuses on the genome as a whole rather than individual genes. He recognizes that it is not yet possible to describe the events leading from DNA to protein entirely in terms of genome to proteome, but does attempt to explore the expression of individual genes in the context of the activity and function of the genome as a whole. He includes a glossary without pronunciation guides and a list of journals, Internet cites, and other resources for keeping up with current research.
