About this book
"Genes VI gives an integrated account of the structure and function of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. It is thoroughly up to date with the latest thinking and research in the field. Succesive editions have provided an integrated account of the whole field of modern molecular genetics and this edition continues that approach, providing a new synthesis and continuing the greater emphasis, first seen in Genes V, on how genes function in their biological context."
