Synopsis
This introductory college level textbook introduces the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. Hartl (Harvard U.) and Jones (Carnegie Mellon U.) present an integrated view of the modern world of genetics, treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines within the field. Modern and historical experimental methods are examined, along with the discipline's historical and social context. The sixth edition incorporates broader aspects of gene regulation, new principles emerging from genomic sequencing, and new evidence about the origin of polyploids.
