PRAISE FOR
Recombinant DNA: a short course
Watson Tooze Kurtz
'This is an excellent, even extraordinary book. It is a master-
ful blend of 'how-to' methodology with brilliant particulars
and conceptual understanding which bears the unmistakable
imprint of J. Watson and the additional authority of Drs.
Tooze and Kurtz. The three individual styles have somehow
managed to become integrated so that by and large the
manuscript sounds as if a single author had composed it."
—Sherman Beychok, Columbia University
f I was very impressed with this book. It covers a wide
range of topics but manages to explain all of them very clear-
ly and accurately. The chapters are well organized around
the central theme of recombinant DNA technology. The book
is extremely well written and in a style which is very read-
able. The rather extensive list of references at the end of each
chapter is very helpful for finding additional readings on
each topic."—David C. Hinkle, The University... Tovább

Recombinant DNA: A Short Course is
an up-to-the-minute overview of the
state of recombinant DNA genetics.
Written by Nobel Laureate James
Watson and his colleagues John Tooze
and David Kurtz, it summarizes the
history of the recombinant DNA
revolution and surveys recent tech-
niques in recombinant molecular gene-
tics, explaining both the experimental
methods now in use and their dramatic
results.
The only undergraduate text devoted
entirely to the subject, Recombinant
DNA: A Short Course accords extensive
coverage to such important current
topics as tumor viruses, movable genes,
the experimentally controlled intro-
duction of DNA into yeast cells, and
genetic engineering of plants. The
book's final chapters are devoted to
transferring genes into mammalian
cells, viral vectors, the introduction of
foreign genes into fertilized mouse
eggs, recombinant DNA and genetic
disease, and the science used in the
recombinant DNA industry.
Enhanced by 174 exquisitely detailed
illustrations, Recombinant DNA: A
Short Course is an ideal supplement for
those wishing to update their courses in
genetics, biochemistry, cell biology,
and molecular biology, and can also
stand alone as a text for courses on
recombinant DNA itself. Vissza
