Summary:
DNA from A to Z is the latest edition of one of AACC's most popular
books! Updated and with many new entries, the new edition reflects
the many changes that have occurred in the field of DNA in the last
five years, including the completion of the sequencing of the Human
Genome. Illustrated with multiple photographs and images, this guide
is a classic, easy-to-read reference that can serve as a foundation
for further inquiry for professionals and the lay public alike, or
stand alone. Here's what "Nature" said about the first edition, DNA
Simplified: The Hitchhiker's Guide to DNA -- "Farkas has compiled a
dictionary of the essential ingredients for understanding molecular
genetics and biology. But this is not another monotonous glossary of
specialist lingo. The jargon of DNA technology has been translated
into simple dialogue and familiar analogies, stripped down to the
bare essentials. The book is an entertaining read, with the science
taking on a personality of its own. Of particular appeal to
biomedical scientists, the book paces through state-of-the-art DNA
technology applied to clinical diagnostics. It provides an impressive
account of recent innovations, as well as fresh adaptations of
traditional methods. The book is relevant to anyone from the
specialist to the uninitiated."
