Reseña del editor:
Comprises the syllabus for a course given by the author at UCLA for the past seven years featuring a case-study approach based on analysis of classic and recent papers and discussion of the lives of the principal investigators. The major portion of the book seeks to describe molecular genetics research before DNA sequencing not as an historical record, but rather as a celebration of the brilliant papers written during that period. Along with introductory essays and review questions (and answers) are some 140 problems which include scenarios from history, mythology, movies, and TV series to test students' abilities in applying molecular genetic concepts.

Reseña del editor:
This textbook offers teachers a one-semester course in molecular genetics for use by life science majors (microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology or biology) or pre-med students. The book is the syllabus for a course in molecular gentics given by the author at the University of California at Los Angeles, USA, for several years. It adopts a case-study approach, based on analysis of classic and recent papers and discussion of the lives of the principal investigators concerned. The book contains introductory essays which review the key concept in each course unit, over 180 questions and answers which test factual knowledge derived from each unit, and over 140 problems, including scenarios from history, mythology, films and television, which test students' abilities to apply molecular genetic concepts. Solutions and strategies for working out these problems are provided in the companion book, "Solutions Manual and Workbook".
