Overview

Extensively reorganized and revised with the latest data from this rapidly changing field, Lewin's Essential GENES, Third Edition, provides students with a comprehensive overview of molecular biology and molecular genetics. The authors took care to carefully modify the chapter order in an effort to provide a more clear and student-friendly presentation of course material.  Chapter material has been updated throughout, including a completely revised chapter on regulatory RNA, to keep pace with this advancing field.  The Third Edition's exceptional pedagogy enhances student learning and helps readers understand and retain key material like never before. Concept and Reasoning Checks at the end of each chapter section, End-of-Chapter Questions and Further Readings sections, as well as several categories of special topics boxes, expand and reinforce important concepts.

Features & Benefits

• Reorganized chapter presentation provides a clear, student-friendly introduction to course material.
• Completely revised chapter on Regulatory RNA provides new information in this rapidly advancing field.
• The four replication chapters have been completely reorganized and include new sections describing eukaryote cell cycle control of replication.
• Special Topics Boxes provide a balanced approach and serve to promote greater understanding of key material. These boxes fall into four-categories:
             -Essential Ideas boxes reinforce and clearly explain concepts critical to the chapter topics.
             -Medical Applications boxes provide clear links between basic molecular principles and human health
             -Historical Perspectives boxes supply the background information or experimental paths that led to our current knowledge
             -Methods and Techniques boxes describe how powerful methods in molecular biology are performed
• Concept and Reasoning Checks consist of one or two questions at the end of each chapter section that ask students to pause and assess their understanding of the material they have just read. These questions require critical thinking or integration of section topics.
• Key Concepts comprise bulleted lists of important points that follow each chapter section.
• Further Readings at the end of every chapter direct students to current review articles and seminal research papers, providing further sources of information to reinforce and elaborate on chapter material.
