Understand and apply what drives change of characteristic genetic traits and heredity
Genetics is the study of how traits are passed from parents to their offspring and how the variation in those traits affects the development and health of the organism. Investigating how these traits affect the organism involves a diverse set of approaches and tools, including genetic screens, DNA and RNA sequencing, mapping, and methods to understand the structure and function of proteins. Thus, there is a need for a textbook that provides a broad overview of these methods.
Genetic Theory and Analysis meets this need by describing key approaches and methods in genetic analysis through a historical lens. Focusing on the five basic principles underlying the field-mutation, complementation, recombination, segregation, and regulation-it identifies the full suite of tests and methodologies available to the geneticist in an age of flourishing genetic and genomic research. This second edition of the text has been updated to reflect recent advances and increase accessibility to advanced undergraduate students.
Genetic Theory and Analysis, 2nd edition readers will also find:
- Detailed treatment of subjects including mutagenesis, meiosis, complementation, suppression, and more
- Updated discussion of epistasis, mosaic analysis, RNAi, genome sequencing, and more
- Appendices discussing model organisms, genetic fine-structure analysis, and tetrad analysis
Genetic Theory and Analysis is ideal for both graduate students and advanced undergraduates undertaking courses in genetics, genetic engineering, and computational biology.
Danny E. Miller, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Genetic Medicine and Laboratory Medicine & Pathology at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA. He is the recipient of the 2017 Larry Sandler Memorial Award, the 2018 Lawrence E. Lamb Prize for Medical Research, and a 2022 National Institutes of Health Director's Early Independence Award. Dr Miller is a leader in the field of long-read sequencing technology and the use of new technology to evaluate individuals with unsolved genetic disorders.
Angela L. Miller is a Research Coordinator at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA, with a background in journalism, visual communications, and molecular biology. She has published several peer-reviewed papers and has won multiple national awards for her work as a journal art director.
R. Scott Hawley, PhD is an Investigator at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO, USA. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and former President of the Genetics Society of America, with faculty positions at the University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. During his distinguished career, Dr. Hawley has mentored hundreds of trainees, received numerous genetics awards, written six textbooks, and published extensively on meiosis.
