Good book by Saumya Vaikhari (USA)  5 Stars
May 08, 2009
I have the older edition which is very good. But its not for the beginners...for them I would recommend Biochemistry by Lehninger or Molecular Biology of the cell by Cooper.

The seller is not honest and has no integrity. Bad Transaction. Did not abide by his own return policy. by L. BIEN-AIME (Connecticut, USA)  1 Stars
September 11, 2008
The seller is not honest. The book was as described however, but the return policy was not honored. I emailed the seller several times, and never got an answer. Do not buy from the seller because he tarnishes Amazon's business and those sellers and buyers who are ethical when doing transactions.
"Josuatree books" (seller) is not a fair and honest person/business.
DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER. "Josuatree" HAS NO INTEGRITY.

Too simple. Too many errors. by Mitchell Mcgill (Kansas City, Missouri.)  3 Stars
February 17, 2008
The title of this review is a succinct description of it. We used Genes IX in one of my graduate courses at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The book is generally marketed as a high level text, but frankly I found it to be too simple. While I appreciate simplicity and generally promote the "KISS" way of thinking, I just couldn't get into it here. I felt it was lacking in detail. Further, there were a number of typos and minor factual errors that made me uncomfortable. I didn't feel confident learning from this book. I know its a widely loved text, so maybe I'm just missing something. I'll be generous and give three stars.

Confusing and inaccurate text by Sarah Smith  2 Stars
January 12, 2008
I bought this book to accompany a graduate-level molecular biology course, and found it extremely unhelpful. Midway though the course I stopped reading the book entirely in favor of depending on information from the lectures. I regret spending the money. The major problems with the book are:
- There are MANY obvious typos and editing errors. This is especially concerning because as a student you depend on your textbook for accurate information; you don't want to memorize a typo.
- The figures are vague, incompletely labeled, and often misleading.
- The organization of the text is disjointed. Essential detailed are completely left out of some discussions, only to be mentioned a few pages later. This makes it very difficult to form a coplete understanding of the topic.
One advantage of this book is that at the end of each chapter it gives a comprehensive list of reviews and papers from scientific literature that you can use to supplement your reading. If you are unfortunate enough to have to depend on this book for your learning of molecular biology, I would recommend doing this.

| Epigenetics
by C. David Allis (Author), Thomas Jenuwein (Author), Danny Reinberg (Author), Marie-Laure Caparros (Author)
The regulation of gene expression in many biological processes involves epigenetic mechanisms. In this new volume, 24 chapters written by experts in the field discuss epigenetic effects from many perspectives. There are chapters on the basic molecular mechanisms underpinning epigenetic regulation, discussion of cellular processes that rely on this kind of regulation, and surveys of organisms in which it has been most studied. Thus, there are chapters on histone and DNA methylation, siRNAs...
