More accessible to beginning students in the field than its encyclopedic counterparts,
Fundamental Molecular Biology provides a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology,
and is supported by current examples, experimental evidence, an outstanding art program, multimedia support
and a solid pedagogical framework. The text has been praised both for its balanced and solid coverage of
traditional topics, and for its broad coverage of RNA structure and function, epigenetics and medical molecular
biology.
Focuses primarily on eukaryotic examples but includes key comparisons with prokaryotic organisms where it is
appropriate.
Includes all-original artwork providing the clearest possible insight into complex concepts. All artwork
is available online and on CD-ROM.
Supplemented by outstanding student and instructor media resources including a CD-ROM
that comes with every book and an interactive website at www.blackwellpublishing.com/allison
featuring all artwork, animations of key processes, and useful student comprehension material.
Pedagogical boxes throughout explain additional concepts and topics in molecular biology:
-TOOLS BOXES explore key experimental methods and techniques in molecular biology
-FOCUS BOXES offer more detailed treatment of topics and delve into experimental strategies,
historical background and areas for further exploration
-DISEASE BOXES illustrate key principles of molecular biology by examining diseases that result
from gene defects
