Coverage includes description of molecular components involved in gene expression (RNA polymerases, messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomes), how the genetic code functions, and processes and regulatory features of transcription and translation. Major areas of bacterial genetics are also reviewed, to help the reader understand how regulatory features were discovered, as well as some classic historical experiments. Gene regulation in some bacterial pathogens and in some human viral pathogens is also described.
- Provides a detailed exposition of fundamental concepts in depth as well as breadth
- Includes discussion on gene regulation in major pathogens, such as controls on anthrax (B. anthracis) and cholera (V. cholerae) toxin production
- Covers techniques and tools in relation to their use in experimentation
- Offers comparative discussion of eukaryotic expression in bacteria to larger panorama of biology
Masters and PhD students, including applicants to Medical and Dental schools. Of interest to professionals (PhD and MD) working in Molecular Biology, as a reference and/or refresher for fundamental information. Some advanced undergraduate biology majors.
