Introduction to Genetic Analysis Summary

Introduction to Genetic Analysis by Anthony J.F. Griffiths

This best-selling textbook, known for its prominent authorship, exposes students to the landmark experiments in genetics, teaching them how to analyze experimental data and draw their own conclusions based on scientific thinking. The 10th edition has been updated with key advances in genetics and cutting-edge experiments and techniques. New co-author John Doebley, a highly respected population geneticist, brings a fresh, student-driven perspective to completely new chapters on Population and Quantitative Genetics. The key chapters on Evolutionary Genetics and The Evolution of Genes and Traits have been heavily revised to reflect recent discoveries in these areas. The end-of-chapter problems have also been revised and updated, giving students great new exercises to test their understanding. The book is supported by a companion website (www.whfreeman.com/iga10e), which provides online quizzing with feedback and 45 FLASH Animations on core concepts or processes in Genetics.

Introduction to Genetic Analysis Reviews

"The author does an excellent job of showing how genetics is used today (one of the major strengths of the text)." - Kurt Dubear Kroening, University of Wisconsin, USA "Its major strength is reflected in its title: that it introduces students to genetics as a mode of analysis. Not all students will become practicing geneticists, but what they can take away from learning through this text is how to construct knowledge by analyzing data and solving problems." - Lynn A. Petrullo, College of New Rochelle, USA

About Anthony J.F. Griffiths

Anthony Griffiths is Professor of Botany, Emeritus, at the University of British Columbia, Canada. His research focuses on the developmental genetics of fungi, using the model fungus Neurospora crassa. He has served as President of the Genetics Society of Canada and Secretary-General of the International Genetics Federation. Susan R. Wessler is Distinguished Professor of Genetics in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, USA. Her research focuses on plant transposable elements and their contribution to gene and genome evolution. Wessler was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1998. As a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, she developed and teaches a series of Dynamic Genome Courses where undergraduates can experience the excitement of scientific discovery. Sean B. Caroll is Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Wisconsin, USA. Carroll is a leader in the field of evolutionary developmental biology and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2007. He is also the author of Endless Forms Most Beautiful, The Making of the Fittest, and Remarkable Creatures (a finalist for the National Book Award, non-fiction, 2009). John Doebley is Professor of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. He studies the genetics of crop domestication, using the methods of population and quantitative genetics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003 and served as the President of the American Genetic Association in 2005.
