Molecular Biology

The second edition of Molecular Biology effectively introduces major concepts of cell structure and genetics, followed by a survey of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and how they interact to provide the cell with genetic information. This thorough update also reflects the recent, massive surge in our understanding of the molecular foundations of genetics via scientific revolutions in genetics and computer technology. This enhanced ebook goes far beyond the flowing text, annotation, and hyperlinking available in most ebooks.
