Features: This textbook is designed for undergraduate students in clinical medicine, pharmacy, and related disciplines at medical and pharmaceutical universities. It systematically and concisely introduces fundamental molecular biology knowledge and common molecular biology techniques closely related to medical and pharmaceutical fields. The book is divided into chapters, covering biomolecules, genes and genomes, the transmission of genetic information, gene expression regulation, genetic recombination and genetic engineering, molecular biology of diseases, gene diagnosis and gene therapy, as well as common molecular biology techniques. The content encompasses the theoretical system and applications of molecular biology centered on genes, and it well reflects the characteristic of "conciseness" based on the practical teaching needs of medical and pharmaceutical universities. The manuscript includes nearly 200 illustrations, making abstract and profound theories more intuitive and facilitating students' learning and understanding. This book can also serve as a reference for teachers and students in related disciplines at science and engineering universities.
