The definitive textbook of molecular genetics Genes VII, the latest edition of this well-respected and best-selling textbook, covers the material that is at the heart of current courses in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and related disciplines. In a change to the approach of all previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, the seventh edition presents the subject in the context of the eukaryotic gene as revealed in the last decade, an analysis based directly on the molecular properties of the gene itself. The new approach has made the book more concise and a new design presents the material in a refreshingly clear manner. Genes VII gives an integrated account of the structure and function of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Important features of the text include: An extensively updated and restructured content to reflect modern thinking Revised layout which presents the most current research even more clearly and concisely Direct analysis of the genome in terms of its content of genes Over 800 full colour graphics to illustrate important concepts Overview figures that summarize large amounts of work Free access to all illustrations, making learning and teaching from this book even easier.
