Summary Table of Contents

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the general principles governing the structures and functions of both procaryotic and eucaryotic genes, including the molecular biology of yeast and recombinant DNA methodology. It also addresses the specialized aspects of the gene that underlie multicellular existence, including detailed discussion of development, immunogenetics, eucaryotic viruses, and cancer. The final chapter discusses the evolution of the gene.
