Route Maps in Gene Technology

Route Maps in Gene Technology is an exciting new introductory textbook for first year undergraduates in molecular biology and molecular genetics.

The subject is broken down into 100 key concepts or topics, each of which is dealt with in one or two double-page spreads.

These range from basic introductory principles to applied topics at the cutting edge of research.

A control strip along the top of the page shows the student which pages need to have been read beforehand and which topics may be followed afterwards.

In addition, at the front of the book are a selection of 'routes' which the student or teacher may choose in order to study a particular topic.

As course become more modular and students arrive at college with less and less background experience in biology, this approach allows the teacher and the student to structure the course of study as best suits them.
