Book Description

0471250465 978-0471250463 June 15, 2002 2
Genomes 2 covers modern molecular genetics from the genomics perspective, incorporating major advances made in the past three years, including the sequencing of the human genome, characterization of genome expression
and replication processes, and transcriptomics and proteomics. The text is richly illustrated with clear, easy-to-follow, full-color diagrams, which are downloadable from the book's website (www.wiley.com/brown).


Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This undergraduate textbook concentrates on the study of the genome (the total genetic makeup of an organism) as a whole rather than the traditional approach of studying specific genes. The writing is clear and straightforward, and the diagrams are excellent, making difficult topics like DNA sequencing, RNA replication, and genomic evolution, mutation, and recombination approachable and understandable.

Review

"...this didactic masterpiece…model of a modern university textbook deserves to be read and studied by…students worldwide." (Modern Pathology, Vol. 15, No. 9, 2002)

"...a second edition to incorporate new developments in genome science and to make the book more 'user friendly'...the book substantially exceeds that modest objective; this is a text suitable for anyone who does not specialize in genome science." (Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 48, No. 12)

"...a marvelous text…plenty of definitions and excellent illustrations essential for an introductory textbook...the reader is...guided wonderfully through the text...this text is an essential cornerstone of information..." (Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 19, No. 12, December 2002)

"...probably the most up-to-date textbook on molecular biology...a useful text...and reference..." (Annals of Pharmacotherapy, September 2003)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent General Overview of Genomics, March 7, 2000
By 
This review is from: Genomes (Paperback)
I found that "Genomes" provides the reader with a thorough yet gentle introduction to the field -- ample illustrations, well-written text, frequent sidebars describing relevant techniques or developments. I've found the book to be a good reference to have on the shelf, and have purchased copies for people when they join my lab group in order to introduce them to or refamiliarize themselves with the technologies underlying the generation of sequence data. I can very easily see this book being used to supplement lectures in an introductory course on genomics and biotechnology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genomes vs Genes, January 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Genomes (Paperback)
Genomes is a very good text and suits my Molecular Biology course perfectly.Whereas Lewin's Genes is didactically poor and full of mistakes, Genomes is clear, concise and extremely well-organised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review in Heredity (vol 83, Sept 99), February 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Genomes (Paperback)
"This is a superb textbook for modern molecular biology. The set-up of the book is very reader-friendly. Everything is cross-referenced, which is enormously helpful. Another nice aspect of the book is the small, digestible sections separate from the main body of text. Overall Brown's book is an excellent textbook that provides a thorough account of what is known about Genomes today."
