This text is known for its clear writing style, emphasis on concepts, visual art programme and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics. The authors capture students interest with up-to-date coverage of cutting edge topics and research. The authors emphasise those concepts that students should come to understand and take away with them, not a myriad of details and exceptions that need to be memorized and are soon forgotten.
