Allison Lizabeth A. (ed.) Fundamental Molecular Biology

2nd edition. — Wiley, 2012. — 687 p. — ISBN: 978-1-118-05981-4Perfect for a single term on Molecular Biology and more accessible to beginning students in the field than its encyclopedic counterparts, Fundamental Molecular Biology provides a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology, and is supported by current examples, experimental evidence, an outstanding art program, multimedia support and a solid pedagogical framework. The text has been praised both for its balanced and solid coverage of traditional topics, and for its broad coverage of RNA structure and function, epigenetics and medical molecular biology.The Beginnings of Molecular Biology
