Genetics Meneely, Dawes Hoang, Okeke & Heston

Current breakthroughs enabling scientists to rapidly and precisely sequence a genome have transformed our perspective of the arrangement and operation of genes along with our comprehension of evolution. An innovative period of genetics is ongoing, one that empowers us to fully accept Dobzhansky’s renowned statement that “Nothing in biology is reasonable except in the light of evolution”. Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and Evolution presents the fundamental principles of genetics and molecular biology from an evolutionary angle as informed by genome analysis. Building upon the findings from the assessments of bacterial and eukaryotic genomes as its groundwork, the book merges evolution, genomics, and genetics in a cohesive narrative approach. Genomic analysis inherently combines both the molecular and evolutionary aspects, and each chapter is approached from this integrated perspective. Similarly, genomic investigations have provided a deeper understanding of the profound connections between all organisms – a concept reflected in the book’s integrated discussion of bacterial and eukaryotic evolution, genetics and genomics. This approach offers students a uniquely adaptable and contemporary view of genetics, genomics, and evolution.
