Molecular Biology of the Gene, 6th Edition

Filed in archive Other Biotechnology News on December 20, 2007

The sixth edition of the most widely used undergraduate textbook in molecular biology, Molecular Biology of the Gene, has just been released.

Now in its sixth edition, Molecular Biology of the Gene has been thoroughly revised. Content updates have been made to every chapter, and medical insights that have emerged from our understanding of basic molecular biology have been included. Two all-new chapters discuss regulatory RNAs (Chapter 18) and genomics and systems biology (Chapter 20). These chapters focus on RNAi and microRNAs, the opportunities offered by the new generation of genome technologies, and the elucidation of gene regulatory networks.
"Web Animation" icons are also placed throughout the text, and these direct students to the expanded companion Web site (http://www.aw-bc.com/watson). This Web site contains interactive tutorials, animations, critical-thinking exercises, and a glossary, which are designed to reinforce fundamental concepts and to help visualize complex concepts.
