Synopsis
This is the latest edition of the core text for courses in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and related disciplines. "Genes V" provides more introductory material than earlier editions. The contents have been thoroughly revised, reflecting new knowledge and advances. A brand new section on cell biology integrates material scattered throughout previous editions with the latest developments. The whole bookhas a greater coherence and more logical structure than ever before. This is reflected by a design which should help to illustrate major points and summarize large amounts of work. People who should find this book interesting include undergraduates in the second, third or fourth years (and sometimes even the first year) of a degree course in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, virology, cell biology, or preclinical medicine. Research students and scientists who need a thoroughly up-to-date, well-integrated, and authoritative account of the science which may not be their original discipline but has a major impact on their work and that of their competitors should also find this book of interest.

Review
`Lewin provides an invaluable framework for a basic understanding of the eukaryotic gene and its cis and trans controlling elements... It demands, and deserves, to be read chapter by chapter... Get rid of Genes III. Go and buy Genes IV.' TIBS
`this book is impressively succinct, comprehensive, current and authoritative' Oxford Medical School Gazette
'extremely easy to read ... The diagrams are excellent and very helpful to the reader. I found the book a most rewarding read and would recommend it to undergraduates and scientists alike who want an up-to-date overview of how genes function.' John Coote, Society for General Microbiology Quarterly, November 1990
'a comprehensive summary of our current knowledge in Gene Expression ... well written and well illustrated' Professor Bernard Perbal, Universite VI, Paris, Methods in Molecular and Cellular Biology
'The expanded and updated fourth edition represents the current generation of an outstanding lineage. Lewin continues to meet the increasingly difficult challenge of providing a comprehensive review of a most rapidly developing area of contemporary science. This fine work should justifiably find its place on the bookshelves of many virologists.' Olen Kew, Virus Research, 20 (1991)
'Genes IV is not only an updated edition of the excellent molecular biology book by Benjamin Lewin, edge of gene expression ... The book is well written and well illustrated, as were the previous volumes in the series.' Methods in Molecular and Cellular Biology

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
