In Chapter 20, we explain how our understanding of genetics and the development of molecular genetic technologies is enabling us to comprehend cancer and in some cases to cure it. Chapters 21 and 22 cover population genetics, with a view of how molecular tools have provided information on species relatedness and on genome changes at the molecular level over time. In addition, we explain how bioinformatics can be combined with population genetics to understand inheritance of complex traits and to trace human ancestry.
We hope student readers will see that genetics is not simply a set of data and facts, but also a human endeavor that relies on contributions from exceptional individuals. Do you like this book?

Advanced embedding details, examples, and help! This first Australian and New Zealand adaptation of the well respected Psychology 9th edition, by Bernstein et al.
The text takes an active learning approach with the use of hallmark pedagogical features such as Linkages, Focus on Research Methods, and Thinking Critically. Features enriching this adaptation include research, issues and examples of psychology relevant to the Australian and New Zealand regional perspective; indigenous research; graduate attributes and psychological literacy sections; other cultural and international considerations, and extended online appendices for searching psychology databases and careers in psychology.
Maintaining the features that have made previous editions so popular, this fifth edition has been completely updated in line with the latest developments in the field.
Older technologies such as cloning and hybridization have been merged and summarized, coverage of newer DNA sequencing technologies has been expanded, and powerful new gene editing and single-cell genomics technologies have been added. The coverage of GWAS, functional genomics, stem cells, and disease modeling has been expanded. Greater focus is given to inheritance and variation in the context of populations and on the role of epigenetics in gene regulation.
Now, the current importance of non-cloning approaches, notably PCR, in gene cloning has led to the creation of this fourth edition which explores DNA analysis. Retaining the philosophy of the previous editions, Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis assumes the reader has little prior knowledge of the subject and clearly explains its importance, the principles of the techniques used and their applications. It is carefully laid out, with over two-colour illustrations.
In addition to some organisational changes within the re-written text, the fourth edition has two new chapters. The first covers the methods used to sequence genomes and how to understand a sequence after it has been obtained.
The second looks in detail at the applications of gene cloning and DNA analysis in forensic science; providing an excellent illustration of the applications of DNA analysis in the real world. In Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis Terry Brown has once again provided a resource of exceptional clarity, an essential introductory text to a wide range of biological sciences students, including genetics and genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology and applied biology.
Also, as well as being required reading for many course modules, it is a perfect introductory text for any professional who needs to learn the basics of the subject. All libraries in universities where medical, life and biological sciences are studied or taught should have multiple copies of the book available on their shelves.
