Introduction To Genetic Engineering

Bol Partner

In this third edition of his popular undergraduate-level textbook, Des Nicholl recognises that a sound grasp of basic principles is vital in any introduction to genetic engineering. Therefore, the book retains its focus on the fundamental principles used in gene manipulation. It is divided into three sections: Part I provides an introduction to the relevant basic molecular biology; Part II, the methods used to manipulate genes; and Part III, applications of the technology. There is a new chapter devoted to the emerging importance of bioinformatics as a distinct discipline. Other additional features include text boxes, which highlight important aspects of topics discussed, and chapter summaries, which include aims and learning outcomes. These, along with key word listings, concept maps and a glossary, will enable students to tailor their study to suit their own learning styles and ultimately gain a firm grasp of a subject that students traditionally find difficult.

This book describes a basic knowledge about Genetic Engineering. The field of Genetic Engineering is very wide and vast; still it covers gene cloning, different enzymes and its use in Genetic Engineering, DNA sequencing methods including Next Generation Sequencing, Different gene editing tools and its use. In the limited space and good standard, we tried our best to incorporate all the principles and techniques which are mentioned in the syllabus of Indian Universities. This book has been written as a text book for B.Sc. /B. Tech and M. Sc. /M. Tech students.
