Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes

This introductory college level textbook covers the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. Hartl (Harvard U.) and Jones (Carnegie Mellon U.) present an integrated view of the modern world of genetics, treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines within the field. Modern and historical experimental methods are examined, along with the discipline's historical and social context. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
