Molecular Biology: Principles of Genome Function, Second Edition, offers a fresh approach to the teaching of molecular biology by focusing on the commonalities that exist between the three kingdoms of life, and discussing the differences between the three kingdoms to offer instructive insights into molecular processes and components. This gives students an accurate depiction of our current understanding of the conserved nature of molecular biology, and the differences that underpin biological diversity.
Additionally, an integrated approach demonstrates how certain molecular phenomena have diverse impacts on genome function by presenting them as themes that recur throughout the book, rather than as artificially separated topics.
As an experimental science, molecular biology requires an appreciation for the approaches taken to yield the information from which concepts and principles are deduced.
Experimental Approach panels throughout the text describe research that has been particularly valuable in elucidating difference aspects of molecular biology. Each panel is carefully cross-referenced to the discussion of key molecular biology tools and techniques, which are presented in a dedicated chapter at the end of the book. Molecular Biology further enriches the learning experience with full-color artwork, end-of-chapter questions and summaries, suggested further readings grouped by topic, and an extensive glossary of key terms.
This text is designed for undergraduate students taking a course in Molecular Biology and upper-level students studying Cell Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, Biology, Pharmacology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, and Agriculture. David P. Clark did his graduate work on bacterial antibiotic resistance to earn his Ph. During this time, he visited the British Government's biological warfare facility at Porton Down and was privileged to walk inside the disused Black Death fermenter.

Book Synopsis The biological world operates on a multitude of scales - from molecules to tissues to organisms to ecosystems. Throughout these myriad levels runs a common thread: the communication and onward passage of information, from cell to cell, from organism to organism and ultimately, from generation to generation. But how does this information come alive to govern the processes that constitute life?
In response to this seeming conflict, our approach has been for the main body of the text to focus on the communication of key concepts, free from the layer of complexity that experimental evidence might introduce.
These panels describe pieces of research that have been undertaken and which have been particularly valuable in elucidating difference aspects of molecular biology.
Importantly, experimental research represents an ongoing journey of discovery, where the experimental approaches adopted develop as much as our understanding of the field. Although all approaches have revealed valuable insights, regardless of whether they could be considered classic or contemporary, we believe that coupling the approaches in this way has additional educational value in terms of showing how both experimentation and the knowledge gained from such experimentation can evolve with time.
In addition to the experimental approach panels, further support for encouraging students to engage with experimental evidence is provided by an online Journal Club, as described more fully below. The methods used in molecular biology Many of the experimental approach panels and the research work featured in the Journal Club papers draw on certain laboratory techniques, which are used in different contexts throughout molecular biology research.

A focus on the underlying principles Arguably one of the biggest challenges facing instructors and students of molecular biology today is the vast amount of information encapsulated by the field. An emphasis on commonalities Until relatively recently, much more was known about the molecular components and processes of bacterial systems than of their archaeal and eukaryotic counterparts.
