This book is the most condensed, accessible discussion of genetic manipulation techniques and methods around. Armed with this, one can move on and understand any other text in the area.

I found the the book in a very good shape. I'm very much satisfied.

I used this book for one of my favorite classes in college on biotechnology. It will show you the cool side of science and all of the neat things you can do with biology and DNA. The level is low enough to where you only need a minimal background to understand it, basic biology classes and preferably genetics. After completing the book you should be excited about the future of biotech, and you will have some understanding about how it works.

To those who are interested in the functional aspects of the DNA this is the right introductory stuff. It covers areas including basic molecular biology to commercial methods for manipulating the genes. Pretty useful for someone who's more interested in the technology than the biology!

This is a great reference textbook for teachers. I teach recombinant DNA methods in the middle school, and I am always looking for ways to bring the information in hand's on methods. I used the template in the book to build a strand of DNA twenty feet long with mRNA, tRNA and then amino acids building a protein. It was wonderful to see the understanding in their eyes with DNA that is large enough to be 'touched'. There is also another hand's on set like this for PCR cloning, and several others. The descriptions of the methods in the text are well writte.

I am using the 1996 version for a high school genetics class and I love it. The newer version is probably more up-to-date and I plan on getting it soon. I would definitely suggest this book.

This book describe techniques used to make recombinant DNA and can help you understand the processes involved so you can easily troubleshoot any difficulty when in bench work. <br />I bought because the course I am taking and I think it is useful to have it around.

Outstading primer for beginning to understand molecular biology and DNA biology. Edition is about 10 years old now, but still has important information on techniques used today. Nice book for beginning graduate students.

Still a decent, but hardly exceptional, introduction to Recombinant DNA. The writing is often hazy, especially if you are not familiar with DNA-speak. I find it a frustrating and unsatisfying read and scientific experience.<p>Update in 2003: they want $100 for this?!?<p>GMZ, PhD

This book presents an excellent and clear overview of the principles of recombinant DNA in a clear, intelligent manner. The best I have read on the topic by far.
