Molecular Biology : Understanding the Genetic Revolution

Molecular biology is a fast-paced field that constantly provides new insights
into the living world and the role of humans within it. Students and
professionals need a clear understanding of new discoveries and applications,
as well as a firm grasp of the fundmental concepts..
Clark's Molecular Biology: Understanding the Genetic Revolution gives readers
what they need in both regards.
.
Clark effectively introduces basic concepts followed by more specific
applications as the text evolves. He has included research results as current
as late 2004 when the gene count for humans was officially changed, and takes a
thorough look at the medical, agricultural, and social aspects that shape
modern-day molecular biology. .
This text is written in a straightforward manner and beautifully illustrated in
full color..
