Description
"Extraordinary" "Masterful" . "Brilliant" . . . The first edition of Recombinant DNA inspired these enthusiastic responses and sold over 100,000 copies. Its uncomplicated language and exceptional diagrams combined to make the cutting edge of recombinant DNA technology supremely accessible to the uninitiated reader. Now the eagerly awaited Second Edition of Recombinant DNA takes its place as the authoritative introduction to the concepts and techniques of recombinant DNA research and-their
dramatic results.
Completely updated and revised by Nobel Laureate James Watson and his colleagues Michael Gilman, Jan Witkowski, and Mark Zoller, the new edition is extraordinary in its scope and clarity of information. To reflect the significant advances in molecular genetics and recombinant DNA technology since the first edition, the book features 14 chapters on new topics and 11 totally rewritten chapters, and incorporates research published throughout 1991. As before, the coverage of Recombinant DNA is unique in centering largely on key experiments, with sections focusing on new developments in cloning, mutagenesis,
and genetic engineering, plus the contribution of recombinant DNA technology to our understanding of gene function, biological processes, and human genetics. The illustrations now in spectacular full color and nearly twice as numerous--offer self-
explanatory portrayals of those experiments, conveying important concepts and delivering key information.
As an expert summary of the remarkable accomplishments of recombinant DNA technologY, Recombinant DNA, Second Edition is an essential text for undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses in biology, genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. Wish its detailed, lucid descriptions of human molecular genetics the book is ideal for physicians at all stages of their careers, and its breadth of coverage makes it a valuable sourcebook for forensic scientists, patent attorney. who needs to know how recombinant DNA is affecting our lives.
