This review is from: A Dictionary of Gene Technology Terms (Paperback)

I find myself reaching for this book all the time. With today's advancements and loads of new information, it is impossible to remember all those terms and concepts especially since these terms are "not even close to normal English"! When context fails to give you the meaning, you can definitely rely on this reference. Also, this is not just an enlarged glossary. It has detailed information and explanations for many key terms (some with "text" drawn illustrations) . It even has a table of restriction enzymes and their corresponding cleavage sequences. I think the authors should update this every one-two years! I recommend this to anyone who reads biotechnology material.
