Meant for use in a one-semester course, this brief textbook aims to present a streamlined and focused genetics text that covers major concepts of genetics through less content than a full-length text. It is based on the author's Genetics: A Conceptual Approach. This edition has reformatted worked problems; connections to online media; new problem-solving videos, online branched tutorials, online worked problems, quizzes, figure-based end-of-chapter problems, and introductory stories; updated and new animations/simulations; revised media resources; updated clicker questions; new lecture PowerPoints; new content on epigenetics, molecular genetics, conditional probability, CRISPR RNAs, long noncoding RNAs, Illumina sequencing, and evolution through changes in gene regulation; a revised section on DNA fingerprinting; and expanded discussion of the discovery of DNA structure, chromosome rearrangements, changes in chromatin structure, genome-wide association studies.
