Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis: An Introduction

Summary: A Versatile, Accessible Introduction
Review: I came away very impressed from Dr. Brown's latest edition. The book is extremely readable but does not dumb down the material. I'm taking an upper-level molecular genetics lab and am doing independent work in genetics, and this book is a great reference. However, I think that this book would be pretty easy for someone with introductory level biology--heck, I think some AP Biology high school teachers may be able to use this text for their classes.

Brown takes you through all the basics of molecular genetics: from the basic mechanics of DNA manipulation to PCR, bacteriophages, and even a review of basic genomics and genomic analysis, which are still very new and rapidly evolving fields. Every chapter has references for more in-depth study. This is a great book to introduce you to modern molecular genetics.

Review: I CAN'T RATE IT BECAUSE I CAN'T READ THE STUPID BOOK. I CNA'T EVEN READ A STUPID EXCERPT OF THE STUPID BOOK. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW I THINK THIS BOOK IS STUPID.
