Gene Control 1st Edition

Though I've just started it, this book has been fantastic, just the right source for consolidating and furthering my understanding of the currently understood mechanics of gene regulation. I should say that I think taking a course in molecular biology is an absolute prerequisite to get the most out of this text and some experience in this area also helps. While the orientation of the book is towards eukaryotic cells in the animal kingdom with a couple of chapters on human disease, it is mostly about the mechanics of gene expression presented in a way that doesn't require you to be a biochemist, geneticist or molecular biologist to understand. Even though the lab that I am involved with is doing basic research on a model plant (arabidopsis thaliana), I'm finding this book very relevant. I would say that it is a very detailed, but clearly written overview of out current (2010) understanding of gene control.

I got the e-version and was disappointed that it did not work on my android phone or on windows 8 on my computer. It only worked on my tablet. I like reading with the sepia color (light brown background with dark brown words) and this option was not available for this book. I think for me the hard copy of this book would have been a better option.I was very impressed with the actual text book. It is very readable and easy to understand. It explains complicated molecular biology in English.

I used this text to teach an upper level course last year. Good figures and instructor resources, students also found it useful and concise.

Good purchase. Received pretty fast.

I love the text just as expected... Gene control is a textbook for all Molecular Biologist aspiring to push for their career.. Go for it

This textbook was very helpful for my gene regulation exam (I am a genetics student). It was clear and easy to read.

This book offers excellent overview of the Eukaryotic Gene Regulation.
