A Genetic Switch is concerned with how a virus called lambda uses its genes - its DNA - to direct its growth. Biologists have long wished to know how genes are 'switched' on and off during development and, aberrantly, in diseased states.

This review is from: Genetic Switch: Phage Lambda and Higher Organisms (Paperback)
This book is a must for molecular biology courses- undergrad and grad alike. It is a beautiful in-depth examination of a model to give us an appreciation for molecular biology at a comfortably sophisticated level. This effective practice of learning generality from particular models is one that, sadly, many professors have gotten away from in our current world of 1200 page textbooks. Ptashne writes with brilliant simplicity without sacrificing nature's complexity.
