Book Reviews of An Introduction to Genetic Engineering (Studies in Biology)
Book Review: you need this in your bookshelf
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for college students. Probably the best textbook of genetic engineering I've ever read ! I'm already a graduate student majored in plant science, but I still find this book quite useful in giving me an general and clear conception about genetic engineering. My favorite part is the concept maps at the end of each chapter !!
Summary of An Introduction to Genetic Engineering (Studies in Biology)
Des Nicholl presents a new, fully revised, and expanded edition of his popular undergraduate-level textbook. The book retains many of the features of the original edition and still offers a concise technical introduction to the subject of genetic engineering. It is divided into three main sections: basic molecular biology, methods of gene manipulation, and modern applications of genetic engineering. Applications covered in the book include genomics, protein engineering, gene therapy, cloning, transgenic animals and plants, and bioethics. An Introduction to Genetic Engineering is essential reading for undergraduate students of biotechnology, genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry.Biotechnology Books
