Genetics today is inexorably focused on DNA. The theme of Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach is therefore the progression from molecules (DNA and genes) to processes (gene expression and DNA replication) to systems (cells, organisms and populations). This progression...

The underlying philosophy of the First Edition was that the teaching of genetics should begin with DNA rather than Mendel. Nothing has happened during the intervening 3 years to change my mind about the molecular approach: if anything I am more convinced than ever that an initial...
The text explains the basic principles of molecular biology and genetics and is ideal for modern introductory courses in these subjects. The book begins by describing the molecular nature of the gene before discussing genetic analysis in detail. The 3rd edition incorporates a...
