Features: This classic textbook has been continuously revised since its first edition in 1980 to keep pace with the rapid development of core technologies. It has been widely praised by universities in China and selected as an English teaching material. The authors, S.B. Prinrose, is a professor at High Wycombe, UK; R.Twyman, is a professor at Norwich Research, UK; B.Old, is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick, UK. This book comprehensively introduces the field of genetic engineering in plants, animals, and microorganisms. The 6th edition adds six new topics: nucleic acid diagnostic tools, new drugs and treatments for genetic diseases, combating infectious diseases, protein engineering, metabolic engineering, and modern plant breeding, making it suitable for senior undergraduate students with a background in genetics. The book is divided into 14 chapters, including: Principles of gene manipulation, Basic techniques, Cutting and splicing DNA molecules, Plasmid and phage biology, Assembly plasmids, plasmids, and other vectors, Cloning strategies, Sequencing and mutagenesis, Cloning in bacteria other than E. coli, Fungal cloning, Transgenic animal cell, Genetic manipulation of animals, Plant transgenic, Advances in transgenic technology, Applications of recombinant DNA technology. The book is accompanied by reference readings and an index.
