Interesting

I read this book in a semester in a biochem special topics class. The explanations are pretty good, although some are a little confusing and need to be reworded. It was very nice having a book on one subject. Other texts might need to be referenced, especially for Chapter 2 - some of the ways to get transcription factors - cDNA, etc. The pictures, although simple, are very helpful in understanding the concepts. Beware of the last chapter though. A bunch of transcription factors are thrown at you at once. That was a lot to digest in a short amount of time.
