Fundamental Molecular Biology

Unique in in its focus on eukaryotic molecular biology, this textbook provides a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology, supported by current examples, experimental evidence, and boxes that address related diseases, methods, and techniques. End–of–chapter analytical questions are well designed and will enable students to apply the information they learned in the chapter. A supplementary website include self–tests for students, resources for instructors, as well as figures and animations for classroom use.
