Title: Excellent text for grad level genetics
Product review: This is an excellent, concise text for classical genetics. While most introductory texts like "Introduction to Genetic Analysis" is 90% molecular biology and 10% genetics, this book assumes that the reader has enough background to skip the usual obligatory exposition on DNA and translation, etc., and jumps straight to topics such as designing mutagenesis screens and epistatic analysis. This book is particularly strong in presenting genetics formalism to new students, and concepts usually glossed over in other texts (eg. dominant/recessive alleles, complementation) are explained in great detail, and possible pitfalls in experiment or interpretation are frequently discussed.Researchers and students working on specific model organisms may find this book a little too general, but it is the perfect text for new grad students interested in genetics.
