"Introduction to Genetic Engineering" offers an introductory account of the biotechnology revolution sweeping the world. The book explains how the genetic engineer pieces together genes from different organisms to make powerful diagnostic tools and new products. It also teaches the beginner the foundations of molecular biology. The book describes the essential techniques and organisms that are used in recombinant DNA, and discusses the ethical considerations of genetic engineering. Dr Sofer shows how recombinant DNA has been used and will be used in the marketplace and shows how computers have a role in recombinant DNA technology.
