Rate this book
Known world-wide as the standard introductory text to this important and exciting area, the fifth edition of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis addresses new and growing areas of research whilst retaining the philosophy of the previous editions. Assuming the reader has little prior knowledge of the subject its importance, the principles of the techniques used and their applications are all carefully laid out, with over 250 clearly presented two-colour illustrations.

In addition to a number of informative changes to the text throughout the book, the final four chapters have been significantly updated and extended to reflect the striking advances made in recent years in the applications of gene cloning and DNA analysis in



Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis remains an essential introductory text to a wide range of biological sciences students; including genetics and genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology and applied biology. It is also a perfect introductory text for any professional needing to learn the basics of the subject. All libraries in universities where medical, life and biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies available on their shelves.

Great as introduction to the subject! It is beautifully written in clear language and understandable illustrations compared to similar books from other authors. A perfect start for digging deeper into gene cloning, and as a complement to more heavily digested textbooks. Learning per minute ratio is high all the way through.

More course literature like this is what our future needs.
Thanks Brown!

this book helped me a lot with my genetic engineering exam as it explained a lot of things unclear to me. It will surely help me in the future too.
