ADVANCED GENETIC ANALYSIS

How can we explore gene expression in time and space? How do we know what role a particular gene has? How do some genes control the expression of others? How do genes interact to form gene networks? 'Advanced Genetic Analysis' probes fascinating questions such as these by asking "How can the principles of genetics be used as analytical tools to solve biological problems?" With its unique integration of genetics and molecular biology, Advanced Genetic Analysis provides a broad survey of how our understanding of key genetic phenomena can be used to understand biological systems. Opening with a brief overview of key genetic principles and model organisms, the books goes on to explore the use of gene mutations and the analysis of gene expression and activity, before considering the interactions of genes during suppression and epistasis, and how we study gene networks.
