It is important to have some textbook that covers aspects of genetics not reviewed in Meneely. I realize that this text is expensive, but online content is readily accessible after registration and may be available on its own.
Additional books. Many of these books (and others) are available in online at NCBI (see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books).
These are the books that I consult when preparing my lectures. Of course, you will not be responsible for anything in these books that is not also in the main text or explicitly mentioned in class.
- Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell. Garland.
2002 (4th edition).
This edition of the book is online at NCBI.
- Strachan and Read. Human Molecular Genetics4 (HMG4) Wiley. 2011.
This excellent book is a nice supplement for human genetics. I consult it regularly and will present some material from it.
The second edition is available online at NCBI.
- Hawley and Walker, Advanced Genetic Analysis: Finding Meaning in a Genome. Blackwell 2003.
An excellent source for advanced genetic concepts, but getting old. I use it especially for meiosis.
- Griffiths et al., Introduction to Genetic Analysis. Freeman. Seventh Edition 2000.
Available online at NCBI. I use it especially for linkage and the Poisson distribution.
- Gibson and Muse, A Primer of Genome Science. Sinauer.
2009. (This is the Third edition)
A source for Genomics.
- Mount, Bioinformatics: Sequence and Genome Analysis.
CSHL Press. 2004. (This is the Second edition; the first was 2001)
Really the best book on Bioinformatics at this level. (The author is not a relative)
- Molecular Biology of the Gene. Watson et al. 2003 (5th edition).
- Recombinant DNA: Genes and Genomes - A short course. 2007. Watson, Myers, Caudy and Witkowski.
