Description
An Introduction to Genetic Analysis (IGA) stands out from its peers in this course in that it provides a clear introduction to the techniques and experiments of scientists past and present, not just an "encyclopedia" of information. This experimental emphasis, together with a solid pedagogical framework in the chapters, provides the clearest, most cutting-edge text available. IGA is also well-known for its outstanding problem sets, an integral part of the genetics course at any school.

Griffiths (botany, University of British Columbia, Canada) has streamlined this eighth edition of a text for undergraduates from 26 chapters to 21. Chapter-opening questions and overview sections are also new. The molecular core of the book (eight chapters) has been extensively reworked to bring modern genetic thinking to the forefront. There is a new chapter on the latest experimental techniques, and a rewritten genomics chapter. Enhanced coverage of model organisms includes a brief guide to model organisms at the back of the book, and an index to model organisms. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
