Features
- Working with the Figures are questions that prompt students to examine book figures and tease out important information, understand the intricacies of an experimental protocol, relate concepts, or draw a conclusion about what is shown.
- Unpacking the Problem (also available in SaplingPlus) are step-by-step tutorials helping students approach a challenging problem. In the book, this is a list of questions shaped around “what do we know and what are we trying to find out”; in Sapling these are interactive tutorials that break the problems down into more approachable steps and build to the final answer.
- Genetics and Society Questions at the end of each chapter asking students to consider the societal relevance of a topic in the chapter; good for initiating classroom discussion.
- Basic Problems, are problem-solving or conceptual problems at varying levels for students to practice applying knowledge gained from the chapter.
- Challenging Problems are more complex questions, sometimes requiring the application of knowledge from multiple sections of the chapter, or thought questions that spur discussion
New to This Edition
- Selected figures throughout have been changed to improve accessibility.
- Throughout the book, photos, figures, and language have been revised to be more inclusive and diverse.
- New Figure 1-23 on Steps involved in creating and applying polygenic risk scores.
- Box 4-1 "A Mapping Function" has been updated by deletion of the Perkins formula.
- There is a new Figure 4-13 on Haldane's mapping function.
- Section 4.4 is now called Assembling Genome-Wide Linkage Maps; under this, a new subsection has been added on "Big Data Analysis and Linkage Maps."
- Section 4.6 is now called Using Linkage Maps in Conjunction with Physical Maps; the reworked section includes the addition of fine-mapping and a new Figure 4-17 on Fine-mapping of the cystic fibrosis gene
- Section 10.4: Engineering Genomes, the CRISPR genome engineering section has been updated and the title changed to “CRISPR genome editing.”
- New subsections have been added on “CRISPR base editing and transcription regulation,” “Controlling gene expression by RNAi knockout,” and “CRISPR and RNAi are versatile tools for reverse genetics.”
- New Figure 10.30 on “CRISPR base editing” and Figure 10.31 on “CRISPR transcription modeling.”
- Three questions have been added on the three new figures.
- Section 14.1: The Genomics Revolution, there is a new Figure 14-3 showing “Exponential decrease in DNA sequencing costs and increase in data storage needs.”
- Section 14.2: Obtaining the Sequence of a Genome, there is a new section on “Third-generation sequencing,” with a new Figure 14-11 called PacBio HiFi DNA sequencing.
- Section 14.5: The Comparative Genomics of Humans with Other Species, Box 14-1 on “Direct-to-Consumer Genetics Testing” has been updated, and there is a new subsection on “Cancer Genomics.”
- Section 14.7: Functional Genomics, updated information on third-generation RNA-seq and ChIP-seq techniques has been added.
- There is a new solved problem on the subtypes of breast cancer.
- Section 19.5: Association Mapping in Random-Mating Populations, there is new text under “GWA, genes, disease, and heritability that updates the study of the genetics of human height variation.
- This new separate section pulls together all of the places in the text that cover the genetics of cancer and provides an overview of the diseases that make up cancer. Subsections include “Cancer Is a Genetic Disease,” “Cancer Is a Developmental Disease,” and “Cancer Is a Genomic Disease.”
- This new separate section discusses the genetics of SARS-CoV-19, the virus that causes COVID-19. Subsections include “Overview of SARS-CoV-19 and Other Coronaviruses,” “Structure of Coronaviruses,” “Life Cycle of SAR-CoV-19,” “Genome Replication, Capping, and Polyadenylation,” “Transcription,” “Translation,” “Evolution of SARS-CoV-19,” “Detection of SARS-CoV-19,” and “SARS-CoV-19 Vaccines.”
