內容簡介
A New Author Joins an Accomplished Author Team. New co-author, Sean B. Carroll is an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the
University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he also teaches courses in genetics and evolutionary biology. Carroll is an acknowledged leader in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. His
work, Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo was an L.A. Times Book Award finalist.New Emphasis on Answering Biological Questions Using Genetic Analysis New examples show how
identifying genes and their interactions is a powerful took for understanding biological properties. In both the early transmission chapters and the later molecular chapters, the text
demonstrates how genetic analysis provides a systematic approach to the study of all of biology. In the transmission chapters (2-6)--Chapters 2-6 have been revised to emphasize how genetic
analysis is a remarkable tool for answering biological questions. The chapters show, using new examples, how a gene is traditionally identified, how it is mapped, and how its interactions with
other genes are explored. From this information, scientists are able to construct the biological pathways (metabolic, developmental, repair, signal transduction, etc.) that are the basis of
much of biology. In the core molecular chapters (7-15)--Modern experiments. Building on the text's traditional focus on classical experiments, these chapters now present the evidence and
reasoning that led to some of the recent landmark advances, including the discovery of RNAi, the development of a new model of meiotic recombination, advances in our understanding of eukaryotic
gene regulation, and others.--New emphasis on how genetics is practiced today. A new feature called "What Geneticists Are Doing Today" suggests how genetic techniques are being used today to
answer specific biological questions, such as "what is the link between telomere shortening and aging?" or "how can we find missing components in a specific biological pathway?
