Synopsis
This sixth edition of James D. Watson's classic textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene has been thoroughly revised and updated. Accessible to anyone interested in molecular biology and genetics, the book provides a historical basis for the field, concise descriptions of fundamental chemical concepts, a comprehensive survey of genome maintenance and expression, and a discussion of standard techniques and model organisms commonly used in molecular biology studies. It includes all new chapters on the regulatory RNAs and genomics and systems biology. The book has an accompanying Web site (www.aw-bc.com/watson/), which contains interactive tutorials, animations, and critical-thinking exercises designed to help students explore and visualize complex concepts., The classic textbook in molecular biology, updated with new chapters, new information, and new media. Completely up-to-date with the latest research advances, the Sixth Edition of James D. Watson's classic text, Molecular Biology of the Gene retains the distinctive character of earlier editions that has made it the most widely used book in molecular biology. Twenty-two concise chapters, co-authored by six highly respected biologists, provide current, authoritative coverage of an exciting, fast-changing discipline. Two new chapters discuss the emerging research fields of Regulatory RNAs (Chapter 18) and Genomics and Systems Biology (Chapter 20), and give particular focus on RNAi, microRNAs, the opportunities offered by the new generation of genome technologies, and the elucidation of gene regulatory networks. Every chapter includes thorough content updates, and where relevant, the inclusion of medical insights that have emerged from our understanding of basic molecular biology, and references that direct students to explore the expanded companion website., This sixth edition of James D.

  • Good stuff.

    This is the international version, which means it is exactly like the U.S. version except soft cover and CHEAPER. The author is WATSON, as in Watson and Crick. I'm using this in my genetic analysis course, and Dr. B says this is one of the best books you could use. I love that the text is straight forward and the diagrams are a good representation of the material.

  • it is not like what it is written

    this book has different cover from that in the picture. also, the cover has some chinese symbols. it is some sort of chinese edition wrote in English. the illustrations are in black and white. and the quality of paper is very very bad. It can't be international edition. I already have the international edition of the 5th edition. I brought it from India it costs 32$ however the difference is great.

  • Online studying

    This book is a very good one! I am studying online, so we depend on the book A LOT and this book has been an easy read, easy to understand and it gives you a review in the first 5 chapters (for those who have lost contact with biology, biochem...)This book is a keeper.

  • Recommended!

    This was a required text for my introductory bichem class... it's very clear and interesting! Reasonable price too. The teachers just follow along with the book because it presents everything that's relevant and useful. So if you need to know about DNA, this is the book to get!

  • Great book!

    I had to but it for my class, great book. Great illustrations. It also has the access code which is very useful!
