Description
The teaching of genetic engineering is now almost commonplace and an essential element in the training of a modern biologist. The development of this text reflects the change in status and growth of the subject. Virtually the whole book has been rewritten incorporating much new material, particularly in the applied chapters. Yet despite all the changes and expansion, the authors have retained their style. Basic principles are presented in sufficient detail to enable the non-specialist to understand the current literature, while specialists should find the book a useful reference source.
