Des Nicholl presents here a new, fully revised, and expanded edition of his
popular undergraduate-level textbook. Many of the features of the original
edition have been retained; the book still offers a concise technical
introduction to the subject of genetic engineering. However, the book is now
divided into three main sections: the first introduces students to basic
molecular biology, the second explains the methods used to manipulate genes, and
the third deals with modern applications of genetic engineering. A whole chapter
is now devoted to the polymerase chain reaction. Applications covered in the
book include genomics, protein engineering, gene therapy, cloning, and
transgenic animals and plants. A final chapter discusses the ethical questions
surrounding genetic engineering in general. An Introduction to Genetic
Engineering is essential reading for undergraduate students of biotechnology,
genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry.
