Genetics: Analysis and Principles, 6th edition by Rob Brooker
Current. Experimental. Learner-Centered. Digital Integration.

Genetics: Analysis and Principles continues to make strides in genetics education. While updated to reflect current trends in the field, as has always been forefront, this text is focused on getting students actively involved in learning genetics.

NEW! A new problem-solving feature called Genetic TIPS has been added to the sixth edition. This is a consistent approach to help students solve problems in genetics. The Genetic TIPS are found within each chapter and three or four are found at the end of each chapter.

NEW! The topic of Epigenetics has been expanded to a whole chapter.

NEW! A new chapter on non-coding RNA has been added. This long-overdue chapter is in response to a remarkable explosion in our appreciation for the roles of non-coding RNAs in many aspects of molecular biology.

NEW! CRISPR-Cas systems: The role of the CRISPR-Cas system in providing prokaryotes with a genome defense mechanism is described in Chapter 17, and its use by researchers to mutate genes is described in Chapter 21.
