In virtue of what the old genetic textbooks that didn’t cover advanced subjects of genome analysis concepts and recombinant DNA technology topics, I would highly recommend this textbook for doctoral candidates. Time spent on this textbook would be extremely fruitful when you accompany your learning by solving the problem sets and cross referring their solutions in the manual. Genetics could be understood not by linearly reading the huge paragraphs but solving the acute problems and then analysing the in-depth subtle details from the inferences of the problems. Wish you luck.
