- • NEW! Three new Special Topics in Modern Genetics mini-chapters explore cutting-edge topics, including updated content on Emerging Roles of RNA, Genetically Modified Foods, and Gene Therapy.
- • NEW! For all Special Topics chapters, a series of questions have been added to send students back into the chapter to review key ideas or facilitate personal contemplations and group discussions.
- • NEW! Assessment questions for Special Topics in Modern Genetics Chapters are now assignable in the MasteringGenetics item library, as reading questions.
- • NEW! Modern Approaches to Understanding Gene Function feature challenges students to understand how modern gene targeting approaches (such as the use of transgenic animals, knockout animals, and RNA interference) have dramatically advanced our understanding of gene function.
- • Each entry highlights representative experimental approaches, analyzes experimental data, and relates to a concept discussed in the chapter. Each feature includes questions for further analysis or discussion.
- • NEW! Evolving Concept of the Gene is a short feature, integrated in appropriate chapters, that highlights how scientists’ understanding of what a gene is has changed over time. Since we cannot see genes, we must infer just what this unit of heredity is, based on experimental findings.
- • By highlighting how scientists’ conceptualization of the gene has advanced over time, this feature helps students appreciate the process of discovery that has lead to an even more sophisticated understanding of hereditary information.
- Michael A. Palladino. Michael A. Palladino is Dean of the School of Science and Professor of Biology at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey. He received his B.S. degree in Biology from Trenton State College (now known as The College of New Jersey) and his Ph.D. in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Virginia. He directs an active laboratory of undergraduate student researchers studying molecular mechanisms involved in innate immunity of mammalian male reproductive organs and genes involved in oxygen homeostasis and ischemic injury of the testis. He has taught a wide range of courses for both majors and nonmajors and currently teaches genetics, biotechnology, endocrinology, and laboratory in cell and molecular biology. He has received several awards for research and teaching, including the 2009 Young Investigator Award of the American Society of Andrology, the 2005 Distinguished Teacher Award from Monmouth University, and the 2005 Caring Heart Award from the New Jersey Association for Biomedical Research. He is co-author of the undergraduate textbook Introduction to Biotechnology, Series Editor for the Benjamin Cummings Special Topics in Biology booklet series, and author of the first booklet in the series, Understanding the Human Genome Project.
