Gene Regulation (5^th Ed.)

Gene regulation is an essential process in the development and maintenance of a healthy body, and as such, is a central focus in both basic science and medical research. This fifth edition provides students with an up-to-date description of gene regulation in eukaryotes, distilling the vast and complex primary literature into a concise overview.
