David P. Clark BA (honors)Christ’s College Cambridge 1973PhD University of Brsitol (England) 19779780080454214, 9780121755515, 0121755517
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.
Molecular Biology covers a deliberately broad range of topics to show that molecular biology is not applicable merely to human medicine and health, but also applies to veterinary medicine, evolution, agriculture, and other areas.
* Up to date description of genetic engineering, genomics, and related areas
* Basic concepts followed by more detailed, specific applications
* Hundreds of color illustrations enhance key topics and concepts
* Covers medical, agricultural, and social aspects of molecular biology
* Organized pedagogy includes running glossaries and keynotes (mini-summaries) to hasten comprehension
