New edition of landmark textbook incorporates contemporary genome-based view of biology

ic of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.

The final three chapters highlight topics of general interest: identifying disease-causing genes, the genetic basis of cancer, and DNA fingerprinting and forensics. Examples of practical applications in human medicine are provided, and the future of human genetics and genomics projects are discussed.

"We hope that the topics selected and our treatment of them will make this book suitable for a wide range of readers: undergraduates and graduate students in topics directly related to those in this book--molecular, cell, and developmental biology; biochemistry; genetics; and biotechnology," write the authors. "We also expect that others who wish to learn about the basics of molecular genetics and genomics will find the book useful, for example, medical students and physicians, forensic scientists, patent attorneys, and science journalists."
