In addition to a number of informative changes to the text throughout the book, the final four chapters have been significantly updated and extended to reflect the striking advances made in recent years in the applications of gene cloning and DNA analysis in biotechnology:

Extended chapter on agriculture including new material on glyphosate resistant plants

New section on the uses of gene cloning and PCR in archaeology

Coverage of ethical concerns relating to pharming, gene therapy and GM crops

Gene Cloning and DNA Analysisremains an essential introductory text to a wide range of biological sciences students; including genetics and genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology and applied biology. It is also a perfect introductory text for any professional needing to learn the basics of the subject. All libraries in universities where medical, life and biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies available on their shelves.
