5.0 out of 5 stars a must for the biological graduate studentia
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!)

1.0 out of 5 stars A Dictionary of Genetics
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Just what I was looking for!, June 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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!

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