This up-to-date and comprehensive textbook is essential reading material for advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a course module in genetics and developmental biology. The book provides clear, concise, and rigorous foundational concepts of genetics. It opens with an introductory chapter that provides an overview of genetics. The book includes separate and detailed sections on classical genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics. It covers basic and foundational principles such as Mendelian genetics, chromosomal theory, transcription, translation, mutation, and gene regulation. It further includes chapters on advanced topics such as molecular genetic techniques, genomics, and applied molecular genetics. The concluding section includes chapters on population genetics, developmental genetics, and evolutionary genetics. The chapters are written by authors with in-depth knowledge of the field. The book is replete with interesting examples, case studies, questions and suggested reading. It is useful to students and course instructors in the field of human genetics, developmental biology, life sciences, and biotechnology. It is also meant for researchers who wish to further their understanding about the fundamental concepts of genetics.
