Essential Genetics
Every new copy includes access to the student companion websiteUpdated throughout to reflect the latest discoveries in this fast-paced field Essential Genetics A Genomics Perspective Sixth Edition provides an accessible student-friendly introduction to modern genetics Designed for the shorter less comprehensive course the Sixth Edition presents carefully chosen topics that provide a solid foundation to the basic understanding of gene mutation expression and regulation It goes on to discuss the development and progression of genetics as a field of study within a societal and historical context The Sixth Edition includes new learning objectives within each chapter which helps students identify what they should know as a result of their studying and highlights the skills they should acquire
through various practice problems What's new in the Sixth Edition?Chapter 1 includes a new section on the origin of life Chapter 2 includes a revised discussion of the complementation test and how it is used to determine whether two mutations have defects in the same geneChapter 3 incorporates new data showing that the folding of interphase chromatin into chromosome territories has the form of a fractal globule It also includes a new section on progenitor cells and embryonic stem cellsChapter 4 includes a new section discussing how copy-number variation in human amylase evolved in response to increased dietary starch as well as the latest on hotspots of recombinationChapter 5 is updated with the latest information on hazards of polycarbonate food containers It also includes a new section
on the genetics of schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorderChapter 6 includes a revised section on restriction mapping and also discusses the newest massively parallel DNA sequencing technologies that can yield the equivalent of 200 human genomes' worth of DNA sequence in a single sequencing runChapter 7 has been updated with a shortened and streamlined discussion of recombination in bacteriophageChapter 8 includes new discoveries concerning the mechanisms of intrinsic transcriptional termination as well as rho-dependent terminationChapter 9 is updated with a new section on stochastic effects on gene expression and an expanded discussion of the lactose operon There is also a revised discussion of galactose gene regulation in yeast as well as new sections on lon noncoding RNAsChapter 10
includes new sections on ancient DNA sequences of the Neandertal and Denisovan genomesChapter 11 examines master control genes in developmentChapter 12 includes a new section on the repair of double-stranded breaks in DNA by nonhomologous end joining or template-directed gap repairChapter 13 has been extensively revised with the latest data on cancer Chapter 14 includes a new section on the detection of natural selection as well as a new section on conservation geneticsKey Features of Essential Genetics Sixth EditionNew Learning Objectives within each chapter help students toIdentify what they should know or be able to do as a result of their studyFocus on the knowledge they should have acquired from studying the chapterGuide them to identify key concepts and use them at a variety of
learning levels including comprehension application analysis and synthesisHighlight the skill they should acquire through practice of various problem typesEach chapter includes several different types and levels of problems including concept synthesis and discussion questions problem solving questions and application and analysis problems The companion Website GeNETics on the Web includes numerous study tools and learning resources such as animated flashcards crosswords and practice quizzesAn electronic Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual is available containing chapter summaries key terms and extra study questions as well as worked solutions for all Concepts in Action problems The Instructor's Media CD-ROM includes a PowerPoint Image Bank and PowerPoint Lecture Slides An online Test
Bank is also available for use in most course management systems
