Description
 
The third edition of the landmark text Recombinant DNA offers an authoritative, accessible, and engaging introduction to modern, genomecentered biology from its foremost practitioners. The new edition explores core concepts in molecular biology in a contemporary inquirybased context, building its coverage around the most relevant and exciting examples of current research and landmark experiments that redefined our understanding of DNA. As a result, students learn in a compelling way how working scientists make real highimpact discoveries.
 
The first chapters provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts of genetics and genomics, an inside look at the Human Genome Project, bioinformatic and experimental techniques for largescale genomic studies, and a survey of epigenetics and RNA interference. The final chapters cover the quest to identify diseasecausing genes, the genetic basis of cancer, and DNA fingerprinting and forensics. In these chapters the authors provide examples of practical applications in human medicine, and discuss the future of human genetics and genomics projects.
