The unique feature of this book's first edition was the presentation of a unified approach to the molecular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The success of this approach, and its continuation, is the result of a long string of discoveries showing similarities in solutions to biological problems that often extend across many or even all species. A six-part organization covers genes, proteins, gene expression, DNA, the nucleus, and cells. For individuals in the science community interested in genetics.

NOTE: Benjamin Cummings will continue to publish and service adoptions for Essential Genes only through 12/31/07. On January 1, 2008, Jones and Bartlett Publishers will release a new edition of Essential Genes. For more information, please visit http://www.jbpub.com/ For courses in Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, and Gene Regulation. Two decades ago Benjamin Lewin's Genes revolutionized the teaching of molecular biology and molecular genetics by introducing a unified approach to bacteria and higher organisms. Essential GENES continues the tradition ofremaining at the cutting edge of molecular biology, covering gene structure, organization, and expression. Essential GENES begins with the sequence of the human and other genomes and starts with complete coverage of recent advances in genomics. The coverage of genomics is then integrated throughout the text. In striving for currency, Essential GENES includes the latest coverage of genome organization, DNA replication, gene regulation and many other new topics.

Genes V (International Student Edition)

Oxford

Genes IV

Oxford Univ. Pr.

What is a gene? How is it reproduced? How is it expressed? What controls its expression? This widely used text provides the most current and comprehensive information available in genetics today. Since its first publication in 1983, Genes has been acknowledged as a leader in the field, both as a textbook and as a resource. Through an integrated approach to prokaryotic and eukaryotic biology, it is able to discuss topics in molecular biology and genetics in terms of the approaches actually used by researchers. For this edition, the text has been significantly expanded, thoroughly revised and updated, and further enhanced with the addition of 300 new figures. Two entirely new chapters deal with exciting developments in protein trafficking and eukaryotic gene transcription. A new, extensive introduction to molecular and cell biology now provides essential background material to students, and new end-of-chapter summaries reinforce the major points of each section. Each of the nine major parts of the text is self-contained, allowing maximum flexibility to instructors. The new, larger format ensures greater ease or reading and even sharper illustrations.

Genes V

The purpose of this book is to account for the structure and function of genes in terms of extensive knowledge about both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It explains what a gene is, how it is reproduced and what controls its expression. This new edition has completely new chapters on protein trafficking and eukaryotic gene transcription. It has a new introduction to the subject, making the book more approachable to less advanced students. Chapters on bacterial transcriptions, post-transcriptional control, interrupted gene structure, RNA splicing, transposons in bacteria, transposable elements in eukaryotes, gene expression in development, and the role of oncogenes in carcinogenesis have been completely rewritten.

Genes VI

Rapid advances in the field of molecular genetics have occurred since Genes V was first published in 1993. Reflecting these advances, GENES VI has been thoroughly updated with the latest thinking and research in the field. The content of GENES VI has been extensively updated and restructured throughout. There are fewer tables and those that remain have been simplified. Many figures have been redrawn and many replaced to present key concepts more distinctly than ever before. With a revised full color design, dozens of new figures, a more extensive list of suggested readings, the support of companion CD-ROM software, and a 360-question problem set, this widely used volume provides the most current and comprehensive information available in genetics today.

Oxford University Press is proud to present GENES VII--the latest edition of Benjamin Lewin's best-selling textbook. This authoritative work provides an integrated account of the structure and function of genes and incorporates all the latest research in the field. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT REORGANIZATION TO DATE The power of direct analysis of the genome has made a significant difference in the approach of GENES VII. In a departure from previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, the new edition begins with the molecular properties of the gene itself. The text is now reorganized to begin with the concept of genes as a segment of DNA coding for protein, and then proceeds directly to the characterization of the genome in terms of its content of genes. INTEGRATED APPROACH GENES VII first explains the structure and function of the gene as a means to revealing the operation of the genome as a whole, and offers an integrated approach to prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The gene is considered from all aspects, including: * Basic forms * The numbers and relationships among genes in a genome * Their packaging into chromosomes * The process of gene expression from transcription through translation * The reproduction and safeguarding of the gene structure * Aspects of the overall circuitry through which genotype determines phenotype STREAMLINED, FULL-COLOR DESIGN GENES VII has been considerably restructured and reorganized to highlight the latest research and technology. It contains more than 800 full color illustrations that are extremely useful in teaching the key concepts presented in the book. GENES VII CONTAINS NEW, GROUNDBREAKING INFORMATION ON: * New technologies that count and compare expressed genes * Accessory proteins (chaperones) * The role of the proteasome * Licensing * Reverse translocation * Connections between repair and recombination systems and human diseases * Connections between the structure of chromosomal material and control of gene expression in eukaryotes * The process of X chromosome inactivation * Imprinting * Control of gene expression by epigenetic changes * The enzymatic activities that control chromatin structure and affect the regulatory process * Archeael enzymes * The mechanism of RNA editing in lower eukaryotes * The role of RAG genes * Interactions within and between pathways * The use of protein degradation to control passage through the cell cycle * Programmed cell death * Telomerase and its role in carcinogenesis. And much more!
