Acclaimed Problem Sets continue as a hallmark feature of Introduction to Genetic Analysis including ‘Working with the Figures’, ‘Unpacking the Problem’ step-by-step tutorials, ‘Genetics and Society Questions’ and ‘Challenging Problems’. Sample problems showing students how to approach and solve the types of questions found at the end of each chapter are also included.
‘Learning Objectives’ are tied to each chapter and include Key Concepts, ‘End of Chapter’ questions which help create a learning path for the student, (the learning path can be found in the study guide).
‘Key concepts’ comprise of short highlighted features that summarize and reinforce important points from the text; and ‘Model Organism boxes’ describe key features of a model organism, in particular how it is used to study a particular system, what types of experiments are done with it, or why it serves as a good model for the studies described in the main text.
‘Numbered boxes’ go into more depth on a topic described in the text, such as the mathematical derivation behind a population genetics equation or how to map a centromere using linear tetrads.

Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full eBook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a license or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.

The 12th edition introduces two new co-authors to the team - David Wassarman, who adds improved clarity and organization of the molecular genetics content throughout, and Catherine Peichel who brings a modern evolutionary genetics approach.

The molecular genetics chapters (7-12) have been heavily revised. As revised, they relate only the fundamental mechanics of molecular genetics, while keeping the experimental basis for how these discoveries were made.
Each chapter begins with a short explanation of ‘Chapter Objectives’ describing the goals of the chapter and placing the chapter topic into context of the surrounding chapters. This helps students “see the forest” before stepping into the “trees”.
‘Part Introductions’ (core principles) - the three parts of the book (transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary genetics) have been included and begin with a short introduction outlining the core principles that undergird that segment of genetics.
‘Study Guides’ cover short outlines of the ‘Learning Objectives’ from each chapter, aligned with the relevant text, figures, and tables; key terms, key concepts, and ‘end of chapter’ questions.

Anthony J.F. Griffiths

Anthony Griffiths is a Professor of Botany, Emeritus, at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on the developmental genetics of fungi, using the model fungus Neurospora crassa. He has served as President of the Genetics Society of Canada and Secretary-General of the International Genetics Federation.

John Doebley

John Doebley is a Professor of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He studies the genetics of crop domestication, using the methods of population and quantitative genetics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003 and served as the President of the American Genetic Association in 2005. He teaches General Genetics at the University of Wisconsin.

Catherine Peichel

Catherine L. Peichel is a Professor of Evolutionary Ecology at the University of Bern, Switzerland. She studies the genetic, developmental and genomic mechanisms that underlie evolutionary processes using stickleback fish as a model system. Dr. Peichel was named a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 2013 and served as President of the American Genetic Association in 2015. She teaches evolutionary biology at the University of Bern.

David A. Wassarman

David A. Wassarman is a Professor of Medical Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the genetics of neurodegenerative diseases using Drosophila melanogaster. In 1997, he was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. He teaches molecular genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
