Title overview

Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach shares the excitement and dynamism of genetics, focusing on 3 core challenges: solving problems, understanding the links between traditional genetics models and more modern approaches, and understanding evolution. Problem solving is incorporated throughout, rather than set only at the end of chapters,

The 4th Edition is thoroughly revised and expands the authors’ focus into visual literacy. It adds 3 new Application Chapters, covers new topics such as uses of modified CRISPR, molecular genetic evolution and molecular population genetics, and many more enhancements.
