iGenetics: A Molecular Approach

by Peter J. Russell

With its modern chapter organization and new “Focus on Genomics” boxes, iGenetics: A Molecular Approach reflects the increasing molecular emphasis in today’s experimental study of genes while helping readers develop problem-solving skills and an appreciation for classic experiments. Although molecular topics are presented first, instructors can assign the chapters in any sequence. Pedagogical features such as chapter-opening “Key Questions” and strategically placed “Keynotes” help readers to efficiently master genetic concepts. The Genetics Place Companion Website contains interactive iActivities and narrated animations that help readers visualize and understand processes and concepts that are illustrated in the book.

[Ravi K. Avadhanula · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

I was supposed to read this book three years ago for a genetics class. Instead, I’m reading it this semester as a refresher for a bioinformatics class.

Reading iGenetics (junior-level) concurrently with a graduate-level book was somewhat amusing. Surely, Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics is the real challenge; this one was just for fun. It isn’t exactly The Good Book, but it is one of many.
