Title: Genes VII - What's new
Product review: I was keen to see this new edition with its supposed emphasis on the characterization of eukaryotic genes. However, I am extremely disappointed with the changes. In fact, on comparing with the previous editions I have, the eukaryotic sections are little more than a rehash. The sections on genome analysis are also little more than a re-write of earlier editions: chapter 3 includes several pages on Cot Analysis - does anyone still do this? One other major concern is the lack of new material/new research -almost all the 'further reading' sections refer to papers pre-1990! Genes was once the best advanced genetics text on the market - I sadly feel that Genes VII no longer holds that position.
