Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A source for identifying specialized terminology is essential to keeping up with any growing field of research. This dictionary admirably satisfies that need, drawing from genetics and other related disciplines.

Review

Reviews for the previous editions:

"A perfect supplement to any genetics text, introductory or more advanced, especially if this text is over a year old. With our current delightfully explosive advances in genetic knowledge, such point-by-point, concept-by-concept supplements are likely to become mandatory. I personally find parts of this dictionary an excellent review and updating."--Lee Ehrmann, Division of Natural Sciences, State University of New York at Purchase

"It should become part of the personal library and institutional library of colleges and university faculty and students around the world. The style and high level of organization will make this dictionary useful to students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels of education."--Ellen M. Rasch, Department of Biophysics, East Tennessee State University

"No more appropriate or concise guide to the terminology of the confusing, booming state of genetics today can be found than in this dictionary . . . . It is, quite simply, the most indispensable work of its kind in existence."--The Quarterly Review of Biology

"This fourth edition updates a dependable compendium . . . A useful and needed work for upper-division undergraduates through advanced researchers in genetics and related topics."--Choice

"The five appendixes are extremely helpful and include an extensive bibliography....A higly worthwhile contribution to the fields of genetics and molecular biology."--Doody's Journal

a must for the biological graduate studentia
By "hthb" on December 16, 2000
Format: Paperback
As a graduate student studying biochemistry/molecular biology, this book (on the PI's shelf) was a frequent read. Not only does it explain "old-school" genetic experiments with aplomb, it provides clear and concise examples. A fine reference for reviewing papers, and a must have for any PI (if only for your students to use as a reference!)

Fantastic! Just what I was looking for!
By S. McDermott on June 22, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am so glad I bought this book! I am a grad student whose preliminary exams are coming up and this book helps so much! For anyone who has come across a protocol or a term in a paper and has no idea what it means and has then tried to look it up, only to find the same unexplained protocol in other papers - THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! Easier than searching through papers and more trustworthy than Wikipedia - this book is worth it!

Great Reference Book
By Kindle Customer on July 4, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a great resource to have on your desk when you are studying genetics books. Comprehensive and easy to read. Amazon says that the paperback version is not yet available, I have had a paperback version for the last 6 months though!

A Dictionary of Genetics
By Ana Ma Lopez Colome on November 10, 2006
Format: Paperback
My opinion can be expressed by a single word: "Frustrating"

As a Scientist who does not work within the field of Genetics, most of the terms I have hoped to find in the dictionary, surprisingly, are not defined!! As a single example, "two-hybrid analysis" is not included, in spite of being one of the most frequently used techniques within genetic analysis.

Probably, the Dictionary is addressed to readers outside from science.
