Book Description
DNA from A to Z is the latest edition of one of AACC's most popular books! Updated and with many new entries, the new edition reflects the many changes that have occurred in the field of DNA in the last five years, including the completion of the sequencing of the Human Genome. Illustrated with multiple photographs and images, this guide is a classic, easy-to-read reference that can serve as a foundation for further inquiry for professionals and the lay public alike, or stand alone. Here's what "Nature" said about the first edition, DNA Simplified: The Hitchhiker's Guide to DNA -- "Farkas has compiled a dictionary of the essential ingredients for understanding molecular genetics and biology. But this is not another monotonous glossary of specialist lingo. The jargon of DNA technology has been translated into simple dialogue and familiar analogies, stripped down to the bare essentials. The book is an entertaining read, with the science taking on a personality of its own. Of particular appeal to biomedical scientists, the book paces through state-of-the-art DNA technology applied to clinical diagnostics. It provides an impressive account of recent innovations, as well as fresh adaptations of traditional methods. The book is relevant to anyone from the specialist to the uninitiated."
