Molecular Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes second edition illustrates the essential principles behind the transmission and expression of genetic information at the level of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Emphasis is on the experimental basis of discovery and the most recent advances in the field while presenting a rigorous, yet still concise, summary of the structural mechanisms of molecular biology. Topics new to this edition include the CRISPR-Cas gene editing system, Coronaviruses – structure, genome, vaccine and drug development, and newly recognized mechanisms for transcription termination. The text is written for advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in molecular biology.Key Features Highlights the experimental basis of important discoveries in molecular biology Thoroughly updated with new information on gene editing tools, viruses, and transcription mechanisms, termination and antisense Provides learning objectives for each chapter Includes a list of relevant videos from the Internet about the topics covered in the chapter

Molecular Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes illustrates the essential principles behind the transmission and expression of genetic information at the level of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This textbook emphasizes the experimental basis of discovery and the most recent advances in the field in presenting a structural, mechanistic understanding of molecular biology that is rigorous, yet concise. The text is written for a one- or two-term advanced undergraduate/graduate-level course in molecular biology.
