Essentials of Genetics is known for its focus on conceptual understanding, problem solving and practical applications. The text provides a focus on essential genetic topics and explores the latest breakthroughs. You'll be able to strengthen your problem-solving skills while investigating essential genetics topics that today's students need to understand.

The 10th Edition provides comprehensive coverage of emerging topics such as CRISPR-Cas, epigenetics and genetic testing. And a new Special Topics chapter covers Advances in Neurogenetics with a focus on Huntington Disease, and new Genetics, Ethics, and Society essays emphasize ethical considerations that genetics brings into everyday life.
