Introduction to Genetic Analysis

Beschreibung

First published in 1976, IGA set the standard for introducing students to genetic analysis and quickly established itself as the premier book in the market. The authors span the breadth of contemporary genetics, bringing a wealth of experience from the world's leading research laboratories. To help students understand the essentials of genetics, the authors vividly recreate the landmark experiments, teach them how to analyze data, and how to draw their own conclusions.

Autor

ANTHONY J.F. GRIFFITHS is a Professor of Botany, Emeritus, at the University of British Columbia. Griffiths' research focuses on the developmental genetics of fungi, using the model fugus 'Neurospora crassa'. He was President of the Genetics Society of Canada from 1987-1989.

SUSAN R. WESSLER is Distinguished Research Professor of Plant Biology and Genetics at the University of Georgia. Wessler was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1998. Her research focuses on plant transposable elements and the structure and evolution of plant genomes; she has published over 100 research articles on this area of research.

RICHARD C. LEWONTIN is the Alexander Agassiz Research Professor at Harvard University. His area of research is population and evolutionary genetics. Lewontin introduced molecular methods into population genetics in 1996.

SEAN B. CARROLL is an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he also teaches courses in genetics and evolutionary biology. Carroll is the acknowledged leader in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. He was recently nominated as a finalist in the LA Times Book Awards for his work 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo'.
