14.) Genomes

Author: T.A. Brown

Publisher: John wiley & sons

Price: Rs 5211/-

About the Book:

Covering molecular genetics from the basics through to genome expression and
molecular phylogenetics, Genomes 3 is the latest edition of this pioneering
textbook. 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 two
editions by putting genomes, rather than genes, at the centre of molecular
genetics teaching. Recognising 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.One of the
outstanding features 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. The text likewise avoids any over-

complication of the subject matter. Genomes 3 provides the reader with a

simple and elegant treatment of this fast-moving and rapidly expanding field.

adding a mass of new material, to broaden its scope and maintain its
unbeatable value for studies in genetics, molecular cell biology, developmental
biology, microbiology, neuroscience, and immunology.Handsomely redesigned
and presented in new bindings of proven durability, this three-volume work is
essential for everyone using today\s biomolecular techniques.The opening
chapters describe essential techniques, some well-established, some new, that
are used every day in the best laboratories for isolating, analyzing and cloning
DNA molecules, both large and small.These are followed by chapters on cDNA
cloning and exon trapping, amplification of DNA, generation and use of nucleic
acid probes, mutagenesis, and DNA sequencing.The concluding chapters deal
