Product Description

Product Description

Acclaimed by students and instructors,Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNAis now in its fourth edition, bringing it thoroughly up to date with the latest findings and the latest industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. At the same time, the text maintains all the hallmarks that have made it a bestseller. These include its straightforward, jargon-free writing style and its extensive use of figures that help students make sense of complex biological systems and processes. These features not only enable students to grasp core concepts, but also create the foundation needed to support their own research and development work using recombinant DNA technology.

Book Info

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory material for the technical, May 11 2001

This review is from: Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNA (Paperback)
To those who are interested in the functional aspects of the DNA this is the right introductory stuff. It covers areas including basic molecular biology to commercial methods for manipulating the genes. Pretty useful for someone who's more interested in the technology than the biology!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview but lacks technical rigor, April 6 2000
By 
M. Beckett (West Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNA (Paperback)
I am currently using this book for a course in Molecular Biotechnology taught through the chemistry department. Although the book covers a wide range of biotechnology fields, from manipulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes through human gene therapy, it does so in a somewhat shallow and repetitive way. I have also seen clearer and more concise diagrams covering similar topics in other biochemistry books, and there is a paucity of in-depth coverage in any particular area. This is not necessarily the authors's fault, however, arising from the plethora of information found in the biotechnology field. If someone wants a broad review of molecular biotechnology, this is a decent book, but if you want to focus on a specific area within biotechnology, look somewhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating material, Jun 18 2005
By invisible hand - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant Dna (Hardcover)
I used this book for one of my favorite classes in college on biotechnology. It will show you the cool side of science and all of the neat things you can do with biology and DNA. The level is low enough to where you only need a minimal background to understand it, basic biology classes and preferably genetics. After completing the book you should be excited about the future of biotech, and you will have some understanding about how it works.
