Molecular Biology. Academic Cell Update Edition

**2013 Textbook Excellence Awards (Texty), Text and Academic Authors Association**The last quarter of the 20th century saw major scientific revolutions in genetics and computer technology. The second edition of __Molecular Biology,__ winner of a 2013 Texty Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, reflects this massive surge in our understanding of the molecular foundations of genetics. In order to understand where these technological advances are heading, there needs to be a basic understanding of how living organisms function at a molecular level. This volume effectively introduces basic concepts followed by more specific applications as the text evolves. With the addition of Cell Press articles, the content is tied to current topics in the scientific community.* NEW: "Focus On Relevant Research" sections integrate primary literature from Cell Press and focus on helping the student learn how to read and understand research to prepare them for the scientific world. * NEW: Academic Cell Study Guide features all articles from the text with concurrent case studies to help students build foundations in the content while allowing them to make the appropriate connections to the text. * NEW: Animations provided include topics in protein purification, transcription, splicing reactions, cell division and DNA replication and SDS-PAGE * Updated chapters on Genomics and Systems Biology, Proteomics, Bacterial Genetics and Molecular Evolution and RNA * Updated ancillary package includes flashcards, online self quizzing, references with links to outside content and PowerPoint slides with images. * Fully revised art program Content: Front-matter,Copyright,Dedication,Preface to second edition,AcknowledgementsEntitled to full textUnit 1: Basic Chemical and Biological PrinciplesChapter 1 - Cells and Organisms, Pages 2-36 Chapter e1 - Cells and Organisms, Pages e1-e4 Chapter 2 - Basic Genetics, Pages 37-61 Chapter e2 - Genetics, Pages e7-e10 Chapter 3 - DNA, RNA, and Protein, Pages 62-93 Chapter e3 - DNA, RNA, and Protein, Pages e15-e19 Chapter 4 - Genomes and DNA, Pages 94-124 Chapter e4 - Genomes and DNA, Pages e25-e28 Chapter 5 - Manipulation of Nucleic Acids, Pages 125-161 Chapter e5 - Manipulation of Nucleic Acids, Pages e32-e37 Chapter 6 - Polymerase Chain Reaction, Pages 163-193 Chapter e6 - Polymerase Chain Reaction, Pages e55-e61 Chapter 7 - Cloning Genes for Analysis, Pages 194-226 Chapter e7 - Cloning Genes for Analysis, Pages e83-e88 Chapter 8 - DNA Sequencing, Pages 227-247 Chapter e8 - DNA Sequencing, Pages e99-e103 Chapter 9 - Genomics & Systems Biology, Pages 248-272 Chapter e9 - Genomics and Systems Biology, Pages e110-e117 Chapter 10 - Cell Division and DNA Replication, Pages 274-308 Chapter e10 - Cell Division and DNA Replication, Pages e150-e158 Chapter 11 - Transcription of Genes, Pages 309-335 Chapter e11 - Transcription of Genes, Pages e190-e194 Chapter 12 - Processing of RNA, Pages 336-368 Chapter e12 - Processing of RNA, Pages e223-e227 Chapter 13 - Protein Synthesis, Pages 369-416 Chapter e13 - Protein Synthesis, Pages e250-e255 Chapter 14 - Protein Structure and Function, Pages 417-458 Chapter e14 - Protein Structure and Function, Pages e280-e284 Chapter 15 - Proteomics: The Global Analysis of Proteins, Pages 459-491 Chapter e15 - Proteomics: The Global Analysis of Proteins, Pages e309-e314 Chapter 16 - Regulation of Transcription in Prokaryotes, Pages 493-525 Chapter e16 - Regulation of Transcription in Prokaryotes, Pages e338-e343 Chapter 17 - Regulation of Transcription in Eukaryotes, Pages 526-552 Chapter e17 - Regulation of Transcription in Eukaryotes, Pages e374-e378 Chapter 18 - Regulation at the RNA Level, Pages 553-580 Chapter e18 - Regulation at the RNA Level, Pages e399-e404 Chapter 19 - Analysis of Gene Expression, Pages 581-614 Chapter e19 - Analysis of Gene Expression, Pages e433-e438 Chapter 20 - Plasmids, Pages 616-648 Chapter e20 - Plasmids, Pages e473-e478 Chapter 21 - Viruses, Pages 649-685 Chapter e21 - Viruses, Pages e517-e522 Chapter 22 - Mobile DNA, Pages 686-719 Chapter e22 - Mobile DNA, Pages e553-e558 Chapter 23 - Mutations and Repair, Pages 721-766 Chapter e23 - Mutations and Repair, Pages e589-e594 Chapter 24 - Recombination, Pages 767-782 Chapter e24 - Recombination, Pages e615-e618 Chapter 25 - Bacterial Genetics, Pages 783-811 Chapter e25 - Bacterial Genetics, Pages e641-e646 Chapter 26 - Molecular Evolution, Pages 812-853 Chapter e26 - Molecular Evolution, Pages e673-e679 Glossary, Pages 855-881 Index, Pages 883-907 Molecular Biology, Second Edition, examines the basic concepts of molecular biology while incorporating primary literature from today's leading researchers.
