		About the Book

LIST OF CHANGES

Since the last edition of this text, many exciting discoveries have been made in genetics. All chapters have been updated to reflect those discoveries. In particular:

• The chapter on Recombinant DNA Technology has been revised to be a chapter on Genomics, Biotechnology, and Recombinant DNA (sixth edition chapter 12 has become chapter 13 in this edition). The chapter includes new material on the completion of the Human Genome Project, bioinformatics, proteomics, and the latest techniques in creating cDNA and knockout mice.

• The chapter on Control of Transcription in Eukaryotes (sixth edition chapter 15 has become chapter 16 in this edition) has been completely reorganized and rewritten to emphasize signal transduction, specific transcription factors, methylation, and chromatin remodeling in control of gene expression; as in the last edition, there are specific sections on Drosophila and plant development, cancer, and immunogenetics.

• For better continuity, the chapter on Mutation, Recombination, and DNA Repair has been moved to follow the chapters on Transcription and Translation (sixth edition chapter 16 has become chapter 12 in this edition).

• The material in chapter 3 on Genetic Control of the Cell Cycle has been upgraded to a chapter section on the Cell Cycle.

• Molecular material throughout the book has been completely updated to include such subjects as: numerous DNA repair polymerases and their functioning; base-flipping; TRAP control of attenuation; and chromatosomes.
