"A Genetic Switch" is an introduction to gene function - specifically the genetic repressor. Understanding the repressor function is essential to an understanding of biochemical activity within the gene as it is fundamental to the process by which growth and development are regulated at the molecular level. The book is intended as a basic introduction to repressor function for both advanced and undergraduate and graduate level courses in genetics and biochemistry. It will also be essential reading for researchers and students of phage, viral and general genetics., ISBN13: 9780865423152 ISBN10: 0865423156 Material Type: paperback
