Advanced Molecular Biology
This is an advanced course for graduate students, although undergraduate students are welcome, that stresses fundamentals and analysis.The course is loosely based on the following text:
"Genetics and Molecular Biology, second Ed."
Robert Schleif, Johns Hopkins Press
(Note, JHU Press says it is out of print so the bookstore won't have copies.
Amazon.com has some used copies, or you can download,
read, and print your own copy from the link to the pdf file for the entire
book, Genetics and Molecular Biology 2nd Ed.
Some haiku "summarizing" the course, 2011.
