Product Description
Covering molecular genetics from the basics through to genome expression and molecular phylogenetics, Genomes 3 is the latest edition of this pioneering textbook. Newly updated to incorporate the recent major advances, Genomes 3 is an invaluable companion for any undergraduate throughout their studies in molecular genetics.Genomes 3 builds on the achievements of the previous editions putting genomes, rather than genes, at the center of molecular genetics teaching. Recognizing that molecular biology research was being driven more by genome sequencing and functional analysis than by research into genes, this approach has gathered momentum in recent years.The new edition has been significantly restructured and updated to incorporate recent major advances.Key Features:BL two NEW chapters on genome anatomies, covering the latest sequencing achievementsBL NEW chapter on genome function, to describe the latest technologies used in studying the transcriptome and the proteomeBL new chapter on recombination, providing expanded coverage of genome evolutionBL major restructuring of chapter order, to align the book more closely to the practical reality of molecular genetics coursesBL newly designed and significantly expanded end-of-chapter exercises, including multiple-choice questions and innovative figure testsBL newly re-drawn artwork, with the emphasis throughout on simplicity and scientific consistencyBL FREE CD-ROM of the artwork supplied with every copyOne of the outstanding features of the book is the clarity of style and presentation. The artwork has been entirely re-drawn for the third edition, with the emphasis throughout on simplicity and scientific consistency. Genomes 3 provides the reader with a simple and elegant treatment of this fast-moving and rapidly expanding field. |

nice book by Chiu Yen Ling (Taiwan)  4 Stars
November 29, 2008
Easy to read and understand. Some of graduate students might feel it's undergraduate level, but if you are not going into genetics research this one is enough.

Big disappointment by shie (Germantown, MD United States)  1 Stars
May 08, 2008
My professor recommended this book for my graduate course, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Many times I wanted to burn this book down. It is poooooooorly written, full of run on sentences and akward sentence structures. I often have to look up the course materials online because the book did such a poor job explaining it. Even wikipedia did a way better job in explaining things !Please do not waste your money on purchasing this book, you will be just as disappointed as I am !

Great book! by G. Hudson  5 Stars
December 13, 2007
This is a great book! It takes some VERY difficult concepts and makes them much easier to understand. The way that the book is organized also provides a nice logical flow. Also, the CD that comes with the book has all of the figures and powerpoint slides of the figures on it, which makes for a nice study tool.

Not for graduate studies by J. Hall (Corvallis, OR)  3 Stars
October 14, 2007
I bought this book for a graduate genome class. I will say that it was optional for the class but it is definitely written for the undergraduate level of genetics. If you are taking a graduate class with this book, think about taking something else or prepare to read many others books to fully understand the material. The book is great for a basic understanding. Lots of basic info and easy to read and understand.
