Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and Evolution is the only text to present the fundamental principles of genetics and molecular biology as viewed from an evolutionary perspective and informed by genome analysis. Using what has been learned from analyses of bacterial and eukaryotic genomes as its basis, the book unites evolution, genomics, and genetics in one narrative approach.

KEY FEATURES

• The only text to view genetics through the lens of genomics and evolution, setting out the subject in an integrated fashion that properly reflects the way we think about genetics today
• The widely praised narrative style makes the important concepts clear and understandable for students
• A range of learning features provide unrivalled flexibility, allowing the book to be used for different types of genetics courses and to support different approaches to learning
• Extensive problem sets present realistic problems that stimulate students to think in an integrated and analytical way, and encourage them to apply their knowledge and understanding to unfamiliar scenarios.
