molecular biology

Introduces the tools and techniques used by molecular biologists, and demonstrates the processes of cutting and pasting DNA fragments.

"Offers useful information applying evolutionary biology, functional genomics, and cell communication studies to complex disease. ... hones in on the 'why and how' of evolution by uniquely focusing on the cell as the smallest unit of biologic structure and function"--Amazon.com.

Introduces the tools and techniques used by molecular biologists, and demonstrates the processes of cutting and pasting DNA fragments.

An exploration of molecules, reproduction, and evolutionary tinkering, discussing the way biologists work, and how they contemplate beauty and truth, good and evil.

Explores the world of cloning, stem cell research, miracle drugs, and genetic engineering, looking at how the gulf between mainstream scientists and biotech entrepreneurs is narrowing, focusing on the career of William Haseltine, CEO of Human Genome Sciences, a forerunner in the field of regenerative medicine.

Covers the essentials concepts of genetics and DNA structure. Focuses on the function of DNA, modern techniques for analyzing entire genomes, lab safety, bacterial culture methods, and recombinant DNA. Offers twelve well-tested laboratory experiments in molecular biology as well as techniques of gene isolation.
