Críticas:
."..presents a basic introduction to the world of genetic engineering...this book simply and concisely describes to the student the full range of enabling technologies available. The book takes the reader from basic molecular biology through to chapters dealing with the principles behind working with nucleic acids, together with cloning strategies and the tools of the trade. The author discusses the applications of genetic engineering in a clear and engaging manner." Biology Digest ."..the book happily manages to cover all the main principles and techniques of genetic engineering...short but extremely informative...good use is made of diagrams and a glossary, and there are particularly valuable 'concept maps' at the end of each chapter, which provide good summaries of the material discussed. In addition, there are suggestions for further reading. All this makes An Introduction to Genetic Engineering a valuable textbook and I strongly recommend it to all students of biology and medicine, and also to other interested people." Evgenij Loukianov, Trends in Cell Biology "Nicholl writes in a manner that reduces technically challenging subject matter to a unique level of legibility without loss of content....undergraduates and faculty equally will appreciate its value."
