Clear and concise, this easy-to-use text offers an introductory course on the language of gene cloning,
covering microbial, plant, and animal systems. The essential concepts in biology relevant to the understanding
of gene cloning are presented in a well-organized and accessible manner.
This updated version of the first edition is an invaluable book for nonscientists as well as scientists with little
background knowledge in gene cloning, providing a wealth of information for anyone wishing to gain proficiency in
reading and speaking the language of gene cloning.
Written for students studying Genetics and Biomedicine with no prior knowledge of the subject
