Features: This book is based on the structure and function of genes and chromatin, with a focus on gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. It elaborates on major biological issues such as development, carcinogenesis, and aging at the molecular level. Dedicated chapters are devoted to protein genetics and RNA genetics, with particular emphasis on the cornerstone of molecular biology—the central dogma. The book also discusses the central dogma in the context of modern molecular genetics and proposes a generalized central dogma. The book is rigorous in its arguments, fluent in its narration, and clear in its viewpoints, presenting many new insights and arguments while tracking the development trends of molecular genetics. It serves as a foundational textbook for biology, medicine, and agriculture majors in colleges and universities, and can also be referenced by scientists and researchers in biology, genetics, medicine, and agriculture.
