Book Synopsis

Lewin's Essential GENES, Fourth Edition provides a clear and concise overview, as well as up-to-date concepts and techniques in the area of molecular genetics. This text focuses on essential topics, background, and introductory material on the structure and function of genes and genomes and their associated cellular processes. The Fourth Edition is organized into four parts. Part I: Genes and Chromosomes, Part II: DNA Replication and Recombination, Part III: Gene Expression, and Part IV: Gene Regulation. The content of the text has been added and updated to reflect the research advances in many fields, particularly in Chromatin, Eukaryotic Transcription Regulation, and Epigenetics. Each new print copy includes a Navigate 2 Companion Website that features interactive and informative learning resources that gauge understanding and help students study more effectively. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is discussed in multiple chapters from different perspectives A general reorganization for a more logical flow of topics Unique pedagogical features that help students with historical context, give opportunities for practice and assessment, and use critical thinking skills to fully understand the material Molecular Biology Molecular Genetics Foundations of Molecular Biology Gene Organization and Expression © 2021 1044 pages

About The Author

Jocelyn E. Krebs received a B.A. in Biology from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. For her Ph.D. thesis, she studied the roles of DNA topology and insulator elements in transcriptional regulation. She performed her postdoctoral training as an American Cancer Society Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the laboratory of Dr. Craig Peterson, where she focused on the roles of histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling in transcription. In 2000, Dr. Krebs joined the faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, where she is now a Full Professor. Her most recent research focus has been on the role of the Williams syndrome transcription factor (one of the genes lost in the human neurodevelopmental syndrome Williams syndrome) in early embryonic development in the frog Xenopus. She teaches courses in introductory biology, genetics, and molecular biology for undergraduates, graduate students, and first-year medical students. She also teaches courses on the molecular biology of cancer and epigenetics. Although working in Anchorage, she lives in Portland, Oregon, with her wife and two sons, a dog, and three cats. Her nonwork passions include hiking, gardening, and fused glass work.'
