From the Publisher
This updated and revised edition enables readers, who have little or no background in chemistry, to understand molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology. Chemical processes and molecular structures are described by means of analogies using terms familiar to non-scientists and technical terminology is kept to a minimum. Consists of four sections: basic molecular biology, manipulation of DNA, insights gained through the use of gene cloning (including a chapter on retroviruses) and human genetics.
