Its perspective reflects the challenge of teaching a subject that is in many ways unrecognizable from the molecular biology of the 20th century--a discipline in which our understanding has advanced immeasurably, but about which many intriguing questions remain.
FEATURES:
* A focus on underlying principles--rather than an attempt to offer exhaustive detail--equips students with a robust conceptual framework to which they can add further details from the vast amount of scientific information available today.
* An emphasis on the commonalities that exist between bacteria, archae, and eukaryotes--along with coverage of their differences--provides an accurate depiction of our current understanding of the conserved nature of molecular biology and the variations that underpin biological diversity.
* An integration of key themes and concepts demonstrates how molecular phenomena like chromatin modification and RNA silencing have diverse impacts on genome function. It also helps students to appreciate molecular biology as a unified discipline, with many components and phenomena acting in concert.
* Clear demonstrations of the experimental basis of molecular biology (set off in the text in "Experimental Approach" panels) reflect the central importance of experimental evidence to furthering our understanding of molecular biology. These panels describe pieces of research that have been particularly valuable in elucidating different aspects of the discipline.
* Pedagogical features including full-color, custom-drawn artwork; end-of-chapter summaries; suggested readings grouped by topic; and an extensive glossary of key terms further enhance the text.
* An extensive Companion Website features additional materials for both instructors and students. For adopters of the text: figures from the book, available to download for use in lectures, and "Journal Club," suggested research papers and discussion questions linked to topics featured in the book. For students and instructors: "New and noteworthy"--key highlights from the field, updated for the start of each semester--and a library of three-dimensional models of key molecular structures featured in the book.

Molecular Biology: Principles of Genome Function PDF
Like the previous reviewers have written, this textbook is great because it is very informative and current, and it contains many figures for each chapter to summarize key concepts. Each chapter has main headings and several subheadings per each section that provide mini summaries for what concepts the following paragraphs will address, and this makes the textbook very easy to navigate through. The "Experimental Approach" sections are a great addition in that they provide information on recent investigations in the laboratory environment that pertain to the concepts discussed in the chapter.By APreMedStudent
That being said, this textbook does not earn a 5 star rating in my opinion because there are a number of typos and factual errors in some of the chapters. My professor occasionally must inform our class to make changes in the textbook for errors that are more than just typos. For example, in one chapter, it was talking about two genes in chromosome 11 and the descriptions of their functions were reversed. This kind of error is a little bothersome because it suggests that the editors were not knowledgeable enough on the concepts to catch the error.
Molecular Biology: Principles of Genome Function is Okay, for a basic starting point it can be considered a good source of information.By Hector Yuri Conti Wanderley
