Genetic Analysis
John L. Bowman is a professor at Monash University's School of Biological Sciences in Melbourne, Australia, and an adjunct professor at the University of California, Davis' Department of Plant Biology. He earned a B.S. in Biochemistry in 1986 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. in Biology from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
Since 1985, Mark F. Sanders has been a member of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of California, Davis. He has taught over 150 genetics courses to nearly 35,000 undergraduate students during that time. Although he specializes in teaching the genetics course for which this book was written, he has also taught a genetics laboratory course, an advanced human genetics course for biology majors, a human heredity course for nonscience majors, introductory biology, and courses in population genetics and evolution.
With Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach, authors Mark Sanders and John Bowman share their enthusiasm for genetics and the dynamism at work in the field, informed by more than 50 years of experience and experimentation in teaching genetics. The authors employ an integrated approach to contextualize three key challenges of learning genetics: problem solving, understanding the relationship between traditional genetics models and more modern approaches, and understanding evolution.
The authors provide students with additional problem-solving guidance and a new emphasis on real-world applications of genetics in the third edition. They also strive to make genetics details easier to learn and provide methods to facilitate group work and discussion of genetics problems and concepts. The revision includes key updates that keep up with field changes, such as advances in CRISPR-Cas, more discussion of epigenetics, and expanded coverage of genomic approaches.
