A Primer of Population Genetics and Genomics

Product Description 
A Primer of Population Genetics and Genomics has been completely revised and updated to provide a concise but comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts of population genetics and genomics.\nRecent textbooks have tended to focus on such specialized topics as the coalescent, molecular evolution, human population genetics, or genomics. This primer bucks that trend by encouraging a broader familiarity with, and understanding of, population genetics and genomics as a whole. The overview 
ranges from mating systems through the causes of evolution, molecular population genetics, and the genomics of complex traits. Interwoven are discussions of ancient DNA, gene drive, landscape genetics, identifying risk factors for complex diseases, the genomics of adaptation and speciation, and 
other active areas of current research. The principles are illuminated by numerous examples from a wide variety of animals, plants, microbes, and human populations. The approach also emphasizes learning by doing, which in this case means solving numerical or conceptual problems. The rationale behind 
this is that the use of concepts in problem-solving lead to deeper understanding and longer knowledge retention.\nThis accessible, introductory textbook is aimed principally at students of various levels and abilities (from senior undergraduate to postgraduate) as well as practising scientists in the fields of population genetics, ecology, evolutionary biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, 
biostatistics, physics, and mathematics.\nAbout the Author

Genetics: Principles and Analysis

Jones, Elizabeth W.

Jones & Bartlett Pub

This introductory college level textbook covers the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. Hartl (Harvard U.) and Jones (Carnegie Mellon U.) present an integrated view of the modern world of genetics, treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines within the field. Modern and historical experimental methods are examined, along with the discipline's historical and social context. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Day, Alan W.

The brand new Sixth Edition of Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes presents the most current, clear, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to genetics and genomics at the college level. It treats transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary genetics as fully integrated subjects, and provides students with an unprecedented understanding of the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. The text also explores the connections between modern and historical experimental methods used by geneticists and offers valuable insight into the important historical and social context of genetics and genomics.

Jones& Bartlett Learning

Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes, Sixth Edition by Hartl and Jones presents the modern world of genetics: treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines in a field that, even in our post-genomic era, still goes by the name "genetics." This approach to teaching genetics is a logical progression in a time when the various subdisciplines of genetics are so closely interwoven. Written by two renowned authorities in the field, Genetics, Sixth Edition provides the most current, clear, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to genetics and genomics at the college level.
