_Molecular Biology: Academic Cell Update_ provides an introduction to
the fundamental concepts of molecular biology and its applications. It
deliberately covers a broad range of topics to show that molecular
biology is applicable to human medicine and health, as well as
veterinary medicine, evolution, agriculture, and other areas. The
present Update includes journal specific images and test bank. It also
offers vocabulary flashcards.
The book begins by defining some basic concepts in genetics such as
biochemical pathways, phenotypes and genotypes, chromosomes, and
alleles. It explains the characteristics of cells and organisms, DNA,
RNA, and proteins. It also describes genetic processes such as
transcription, recombination and repair, regulation, and mutations.
The chapters on viruses and bacteria discuss their life cycle,
diversity, reproduction, and gene transfer. Later chapters cover
topics such as molecular evolution; the isolation, purification,
detection, and hybridization of DNA; basic molecular cloning
techniques; proteomics; and processes such as the polymerase chain
reaction, DNA sequencing, and gene expression screening.
