Genes IV
What is a gene? How is it reproduced? How is it expressed? What controls its expression? This widely used text provides the most current and comprehensive information available in genetics today. Since its first publication in 1983, Genes has been acknowledged as a leader in the field,
both as a textbook and as a resource. Through an integrated approach to prokaryotic and eukaryotic biology, it is able to discuss topics in molecular biology and genetics in terms of the approaches actually used by researchers. For this edition, the text has been significantly expanded, thoroughly
revised and updated, and further enhanced with the addition of 300 new figures. Two entirely new chapters deal with exciting developments in protein trafficking and eukaryotic gene transcription. A new, extensive introduction to molecular and cell biology now provides essential background material
to students, and new end-of-chapter summaries reinforce the major points of each section. Each of the nine major parts of the text is self-contained, allowing maximum flexibility to instructors. The new, larger format ensures greater ease or reading and even sharper illustrations.

June 26, 2020Since they don't have every edition of Genes listed
I liked Genes III from 1987 by Benjamin Lewin
I would say that Suzuki/Lewontin/Griffiths Introduction to Genetic Analysis [1985] would go well with it.
With Suzuki's as one of the most detailed books, and Lewin one of the most interestingly presented, you got probably the best two books on Genetics of the 1980s
which stand up very well to newer editions....
[unlike books from the Nixon era on genetics]
